Hi there, I am slightly annoyed with Dexterity under Plone 4.3.
In the old days of Archetypes and Plone 4.x I could easily generate policy packages and the content-type boilerplate code easily and in a reliable way using Paster + Zopeskel - perfect world. Now with Plone 4.3 and Dexterity everything feels like a big mess - from the integrators prospective. The official way for generating the boilerplate code seems(?!) to be https://pypi.python.org/pypi/templer.plone. First: this package generates code with grok dependencies that do not work on Plone 4.3 (I wrote an earlier email about this problem) - can be easily fixed. Second: generating a new content-type using templer generated code that seems to be incompatible with Plone 4.3 (e.g. an import to plone.directives which seems to have been refactored into plone.directives.dexterity ... and so on). Now I tried using the same with Plone 4.2 and the generated code is also not working on Plone 4.2 So what is this Templer stuff about? Causing trouble and frustration? Now tried it the hard-core way and tried to look up the Dexterity documentation and checked https://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.dexterity#documentation All three links inside the Dexterity documentation section on PyPI lead to abandoned pages....great...I am pissed. Once again: having elementary functionality for integrators not working is bad for Plone. Yes, I can fix this all myself if I had time and interest but here is the chicken-egg problem: we have various other options available nowadays building CMS and web application without Plone. And as an integrator I do have some basic expectations to the framework. Basic things must just work.
