I assume this means you've given up on the idea of creating a GUI
ZCML configuration tool, the?

Are you sure ZCML is The Right Way? I know its purpose (since I
helped invent Zope 3): to combine configurations by multiple
developers without imposing a particular workflow. However, I
maintain that Python code could do the job better. The Python code
I have in mind is not the same as Jeffrey's examples. I'll
elaborate if there's interest.
Would it make sense to publish a recommended way to configure Z3 apps
completely via Python? Just for people who can't get past ZCML?
Well, I wouldn't say the people I know "can't get past" ZCML.
They're smart, and learning an XML schema is not a big effort.
However, for someone coming from Java frameworks, yet another XML
format is a big mark against Zope, making RoR and other frameworks
much more attractive. It's also a mark against Python, since it
seems to indicate that Python is too weak to implement a
configuration mini-language.
