Sure. It was a small scale example. For larger projects you'd use more abstraction layers, accessing (for example) template strings via method calls which would provide the ability to do things like i18n manipulation. > The idea of ZCML is for programmers to > be able to reconfigure or extend the behavior of other people's code > without having to change, or hopefully even fully understand, that code > itself.

I'm just interested, on this mailing list, in improving ways of helping Python-savvy engineers provide and use Web services.
