Re: [Zope3-Users] Zope3 as a package
Hi Lennart. Thank you for your reply. These queries are general as I am committing to Z3 for this project. The fact that Zope is a bit different than a regular python package itself has triggered these thoughts. At this point, I don't have anything that doesn't work as I am just getting started with this project. As I work through the app and attempt to package it, I may have specific issues that I will bring forward. I am also interested in the experiences of others that may have done something similar and what challenges they may have faced (particularly with packaging) if any.
