Here is why I'm bummed about this. Like other people who have posted - after years of coding perl for money, I have vowed never to do it again. (I find that it produces encourages unmaintainable code.) Also, I think my main marketable skill now is Zope. So, were I to want to find a different j

OK, I just wanted to say a couple more things about this and then I'll shut up. I've given it a lot of thought - trying come up with a way of looking at it that still makes zope attractive. So, I started thinking - what if it had been a language that I like instead of perl. (lisp, java...) Als

[Zope] 2.2.0 zclass weirdness

I've created a ZClass call HomeDirContainer that inherits from ObjectManager. In that ZClass I created another ZClass called HomeDir. The idea being that HomeDirs can only exist in HomeDirContainers. So, I add an instance of HomeDirContainer, then go into it and click "Add" - which is attemp

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest something good to run in front of 2 zopes talking to a zeo server - for failover and load balancing. I have been using a tool called 'balance' which works really well - but for failover it only works if the socket to one of the zope servers doesn't connect. W

Hi. We have a product (an mp3 jukebox) that uses the ZODB to store a large data structure of all the albums and track names. Many people are allowed to add/remove albums from the database. The problem is, when they do this the entire data structure is backed up for undo. So, by the end of each
