[Zope3-dev] New METAL feature for Zope 3.1

2005-08-18 Thread Fred Drake
Zope 3.1 will include a new feature in METAL, the Macro Expansion Tag Attribute Language used in page templates. The implementation is largely complete, but some issues with it were uncovered in the past week that have caused some re-evaluation of the details. At this point, we discovered that su

Not a good reason, just laziness -- basically our app is deployed in two pieces, and it's easier to write the installer for the piece containing zope.proxy if you don't need to worry about the extension module. Actually, that's only true for our Win32 target. Just thought I'd check before spendin

We're using some of the Zope libraries for non-Zope apps, and need to include zope.proxy. We're not at the point where we care about performance (well, much), so it would make life easier if we had a Pure Python version of zope.proxy. Has anyone created such a creature? I glanced through the SVN

Gary brought up an issue with the macro extension work that Shane did in the page templates code for Zope 3.1; the relevant code does not exist in Zope 2.x or 3.0.x. Gary's bug report is issue 440 in the Zope 3 collector: http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope3-dev/440 There appears to be a d
