ZDNet UK has
an article about a massive Zope deployment at the Royal Bank of
Scottland (for an Intranet, it seems).

Unfortunately, the article gives absolutely no functional nor technical
details. So it’s hard to know of if this project is more impressive that some of the projects we did
recently.

Congratulations anyway to the people who worked on the project.

C’est le titre de
la préface que j’ai écrite au bouquin
de Tarek.

Le
texte complet (en PDF) de ma préface est disponible sur le site
d’Eyrolles.

La table des matières, la préface de Stephan Richter, l’avant propos, deux
chapitres, et les annexes sont également disponibles en PDF sur
la page du bouquin chez Eyrolles.

I’ve just posted several announcements
for the CPS 3.4.0
beta1 release. It was a bit tiring since many things have changed since
CPS 3.3.8 (we did an “alpha” in late december, but it was not packaged, just
an annoucement in the dev mailing list).

There is still a lot of work to finish before we finish (at least a beta2)
but I’m confident we are on the right track.

La sortie d’IronPython est l’occasion pour 01 Informatique de faire
un papier sur Python.

Interrogé sur le sujet, j’en ai profité pour glisser quelques mots des
autres implémentations “alternatives” de Python: Jython, Stackless et PyPy.

Here is an updated concept map (
PDF,
PNG) of five Python megaframeworks (Turbogears, CPS, Django, Subway and
Pylons) and their relationships to other Python frameworks and
libraries.

Thanks for the comments on
the previous version.

Tarek has
put some finishing touches this week-end on the programmation-python.org
website, which is going to support the book he has recently finished for Editions Eyrolles, which is
going to be available in bookshops on jan 19th.

Of course, the website runs CPS

Here is a map (
png,
pdf) that I’ve just drawn to try to clarify the dependencies between the
so-called frameworks and “megaframeworks” and other Python packages.

I have tried to cover, so far:

• Zope (w/ CPS as an example of a framework built on top of Zope)
• TurboGears
• Django
• Subway
• Pylons

Feel free to comment. I’m probably wrong in many places. (Even the CPS part
may be wrong ).
