Hello everyone,

I suppose this is slightly off topic but kind of linked to the component
framework discussion.  Since I have a very high esteem for the people on
this list and their instincts, I would very much like to hear your take on
this one.

With pyContainer http://www.iem.pw.edu.pl/~sniezynr/pycontainer/  and  PEAK
http://peak.telecommunity.com/ there are now two Python "component
frameworks" that use the Inversion of Control Pattern and lightweight
containers to make it easy to create reusable components that can be
flexibly combines.  These concepts that are big and hot in the Java
world.  They also seem to bring the some of the complexity of the java
world with them.

To me personally, the examples of use that I have seen so far seem so
simple (maybe for didactic reasons) that the proposed solution seems overly
complex;  so they haven't convinced me that I really should need the
additional complexity of light-weight containers.

Is there something I'm missing out of and there are some killer use cases
that demonstrate how containers make the solution of problems actually
easier than doing without containers and framework?

many thanks in advance for your feedback!
