Eggs contain Python packages. How you deploy the Python packages is
your choice. If you like copying or symlinking, fine. And, heck, you

Products. But please-oh-please let us start developing new things in
regular packages so that we can
a) make use of the tools provided to us by the greater Python community
b) ease other Python programmers into Zope (no more weird Products, no
more "Zope stinks", no more "Zope is its own universe"). Some of us
*like* reaching out.
c) make things easier for *ourselves* (being able to test a simple
Python package outside the context of a full-blown Zope instance is a
tremendous win).
I won't grace the uncalled-for sarcasm with an answer.
Jens, I didn't mean to be sarcastic. Sorry if that came across wrong.
You misunderstand
my point. I simply don't want the existing dead-simple way of creating
quick sandboxes be replaced by some mechanism where I need to start
writing configuration files or learn some wondrous framework, just
because it's been decreed the technology du jour.
I understand and believe it or not, I also sympathize :). The good news
is that it's still possible. After all, the initial argument of this
thread wasn't that we wanted to eggify or buildoutify CMF, but that we
wanted to introduce standard Python packages as possible dependencies.
Such packages only have to be on the PYTHONPATH, e.g. put into
INSTANCE/lib/python. How they end up there is up to you. As said,
symlinking, copying, etc. still works.
