Hi, I've just joined this list and am digging into Quixote.  The first
thing I do on a new project is produce RPMs, so I can back out a broken
package and preserve any fixes/enhancements I make.  I did this for
Zope (I'm the Zope RPM maintainer) and now you can get RPMs for
Quixote at:

  http://www.taupro.com/static/RPMs/

After wrestling with Zope for years, I'm hoping Quixote might be a
better fit for a command-line/text-mode/python/CVS-style programmer
like myself. ;-)

I'm hooking Quixote into an instance of ZEO/ZODB and porting my
general ledger application originally written for pre-Zope Bobo
and DocumentTemplate, talking to a python backend (business logic)
via Fnorb/CORBA running Solid Tech SQL database (via mxODBC.Solid).

I'm hoping to dump Solid and Fnorb for ZEO/ZODB instead, with the
business logic residing in a separate namespace, as discussed
last month on this mailing list.

I also stumbled across the tiny bug below in my packaging...

-- snip -- quixote/session.py -- missing call to k.sort()
# and here's one real dictionaries *should* have ;-)
    def sorted_keys (self):
        k = self.sessions.keys()
        return k
-- snip --

Anyway, Quixote is COOL and I hope to help enhance/document it.
