Re: [Zope-dev] Creating a fully stand-alone Zope Page Templates
This works!! Thank you! Do you keep your Page Templates up-to-date with Zope's, or is this version going to stay the way it is from now on? It looks like you did what I was trying to do (i.e. put a wrapper around the existing code) so that updates only required you to get the newest version of Page Templates from Zope and plug them in.

I can't answer this directly, but I have done the same as you and divorced ZPT completely from Zope for Roundup. See http://roundup.sf.net/ in the roundup.cgi.[PageTemplates|TAL|ZTUtils] packages.

Re: [Zope-dev] Creating a fully stand-alone Zope Page Templates
I have been using that, and it is very nice, but it doesn't include METAL. I'm hoping that the author of that package implements METAL, so I can use his package. But if that doesn't work out, I need something to fall back on.

This doesn't answer the above question, and may not be suitable for Kevin's needs, but I thought I'd mention there's a pretty nice Zope-independent page template implementation at: http://www.owlfish.com/software/simpleTAL/ in case others have an interest in that sort of thing, and pretty amazingly - it does it with just two module files, so it's a piece of cake to use.
