The idea is not to "write the application in XML", but to configure the application using the ZMI (or possibly other tools), and save the configuration as XML. > Was there ever considered to use other formats like yaml or json, which > are very much more pythonic ? Or even better to use python itself ? As much as I like the elegance of yaml and json, I think that "the industry" has much more support for XML. A possible solution, of course, for hardcode yaml fanatics, would be to have a yaml->xml converter, so that you type your yaml by hand and then use a makefile to convert it to xml.
