the more I read about Zope, the more interesting it sounds. Here's a blurb from http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZopeBook/IntroducingZope.stx: A Web server: Zope comes with a built in web server that serves content to you and your users. Of course, you may already have an existing web server, such as Apache or Microsoft IIS and you may not want to use Zope's. Not to worry, Zope works with these web servers also, and any other web server that supports the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). A Web based interface When you build web applications with Zope, you use your web browser to interact with the Zope management interface. This interface is a development environment that lets you do things like create web pages, add images and documents, connect to external relational databases and write scripts in different languages. An object database When you work with Zope, you are mostly working with objects that are stored in Zope's object database. Zope's management interface provides a simple, familiar way to manage objects that resembles the way many common file managers work. Relational integration You don't have to store your information in Zope's object database if you don't want to, because Zope works with other relational databases such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, Sybase, MySQL and many others. Scripting language support Zope allows you to write web applications in a number of different languages, like Python, Perl, and Zope's own Document Template Markup Language (DTML). This choice is kind of self serving as well as I will be undertaking a Zope based project at work and will be learning it anyway.
