First let me make it very clear that this post is not in any way against the Django web framework. I think the Django guys are doing great work with their framework, and it's cool that it now has protection against XSS attacks by default (in the trunk), but I really wonder how this kind of thing can get as high as #3 on reddit.com (right now it's at #24).
Like Martijn Faasen points out in this Grok mailing list post (by the way, have you checked out Grok yet? That's a reddit top ten item if you ask me), Zope has this since version 2.2, announced on the year, mmm, let me see...yes, 2000.
Seven years ago Zope was among the very first frameworks to implement such a feature. Nowadays many frameworks of all kinds have it. Some make it optional, which they say is a feature too. The more security minded frameworks make it automatic, which I think is the wisest choice.
But did I say that this was implemented in Zope seven years ago? How bad at self promotion are we in the Zope community that stuff like this goes unnoticed for years, yet makes the front page of a "what's new and popular" site when other frameworks do it?
While old features made new climb their way up on reddit and other sites like this, the Invisible Python Web Framework continues to be a place where many (really new) new features and ideas are being developed and tested. Read all about them on your favorite what's new site in 2014 or so.
