Feed Description: Programming life without Python(?)
Zope 3.4 alpha 1 release is planned in first week of April, 2007 [1]. Zope 3.4 release will be based on eggs and buildouts. So you can use the individual parts without using the whole Zope 3. Suppose you want to use 'zope.interface', just 'easy_install zope.interface' will do it for you. And if you want 'zope.component' [2], use 'easy_install zope.component'. And there are many packages like this which does not requires the whole Zope 3 (eg: zope.event, zope.deferredimport, zope.testing, zope.testbrowser etc.). Most of them are available from PyPI now !
And zc.buildout [3] is going to change how we develop and deploy Zope 3. If I want to modify (new feature/bug fix) zope.testbrowser I need not to checkout the whole Zope 3 and start coding, rather I can checkout zope.testbrowser and run 'buildout' command. It will setup an environment where I can start working.
After 3.4 release, individual packages will be having it's own release cycle.
