It's actually not too bad. Writing the "bfg_view" decorator was pretty simple (although I did find some bugs in martian that needed fixing while doing it). I mostly found writing a grokker more pleasant than writing an equivalent ZCML handler. But that may just be preference. - C _______________________________________________ Repoze-dev mailing list Repoze-dev@lists.repoze.org http://lists.repoze.org/listinfo/repoze-dev
