Zope SIP Application

There was an anouncement on daily python about Simple Inventory Program, and I feel interest with this program. They said The SIP can run without ZODB instead they use Sybase and PostgreSQL as their Database backend.

If it is true, then the SIP wont store any metadata on ZODB, cause they dont use it. Then this is the feature that I've been looking for. This program run on top of Zope 3. On Zope 2.X, all our metadata should store at ZODB, now in Zope 3 it can be bypassed as The SIP claim. Another interesting one is SQLOS component which they use.

It would be good, since I like the Zope and their framework, but I dont like the way Zope 2.x store the metadata, that why I look on an other solution which Django and TurboGears offers. If I can make my application work like The SIP with Zope 3, I hope Twisted will join with Zope to give me an great power.

I'll check on this one later.

TG with CatWalk

Its bean a while since my last try on TurboGears, seem they move quite fast. They had a CatWalk right now and they set up on it. So right now you will have a administration backend features. It will similar to the one that Django had. It sound promissing.

Also, I'd check on Twisted, a python network application framework. One of TG User, said that it would posible for TG with their CheryyPy to run with Twisted. I dont know the teory behind it, but it might so. It realy interesting, since my office application would need some of Twisted Features. It would be good if we can utilize it with TG.

I'm quite busy right now with my php office application. I'll check TG again later.
