+sys.maxint "ugly" python expressions in ZPT is to me a clear signal that you need to refactor and that's a GOOD THING. And refactoring is easy when you can just start by copy / pasting the python expressions into a Script. If they were some new-fangled "if: then: else:" syntax in TAL, you'd have to rewrite from scratch... and we're right back in the mess we got into with DTML: the poor developer is forced to learn many ways of doing the same thing. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com look! up in the sky! it's secretary The Archer of Doom (randomhero courtesy isometric.spaceninja.com) _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
