Dear All,


I am currently beginning application development using Python and
Zope. I feel that Zope is overkill for many of our forthcoming
projects, and that business objects would be easier to facilitate
using Quixote (your comments?).

Now, our company has a specialized web designer, and the
separation offered by Zope Page Templates (ZPT) seems
interesting. Is it possible to marry Quixote and ZPT in a
reasonable fashion, and if so, has someone already done this?
I am thinking along the lines of Smarty the PHP template engine,
in order to achieve separation of Python code and HTML.

XML-compliance as offered by ZPT is not a must for us though --
the designer will be using a text editor for HTML. Maybe PTL
could suffice, after all. ZPT just looks "cleaner", one of the
reasons I prefer Python in the first place.

Any thoughts/advice?

TIA,
