While it's true that Zope3 is more 'python-programmer oriented' than Zope2 - and probably much safer wrt/ developper's sanity -, it's still a world on it's own, it's still a complex framework, and it's still not very pythonic (IMHO based on 2+ years experience with Zope2, with or without the CMF, and some time spent evaluating Zope3). >> You may want to consider other options like Django, Pylon or Turbogears. > > > It's true that Z3 is not currently focused very well on the > "middle-class" developer.
