Feed Description: Programming life without Python(?)
Few days back Stephan Richter released Zope 3.4 second beta release. The Zope 3.4 release may be the last release of Zope 3 release as a single package. There is still a minor chance for a 3.5 release. Anyway, Zope 3 as a single package is coming to an end. I won't be surprised if the term "Zope 3" itself vanish in the future.
This is a good thing for the future of Zope project & community. As I implied in one of my last post, Zope is becoming more "Pythonic". Well, I am not going to describe "What is Pythonic" :) . You know, Zope is even dropping the server business ! (Zope 3 used Twisted web server as the default server for a long time). We also retired zope3-dev list last month .
For those who using Zope 3.3 or earlier versions, Zope 3.4 is a chance (may be last) for migrating to egg and buildout based system for development and deployment.
Now you might wonder, "Where is Zope going ?" . This is a very difficult question for me to answer, so, I refrain from trying it :) Here I am just giving two pointers: Grok, Repoze.
However, I believe Zope 3 will live for a long time through the numerous packages derived from it.
