The situation is similar to Zope. It has its own perfectly capable web server -- which doesn't do SSL, and runs on a non-standard port by default. In production, most people put it behind Apache and/or Squid for various reasons, but you can also just switch the built in server to port 80 and use it. I'd think whatever the Zope package does would be a good starting point. Tom Hoffman SchoolTool project manager
