My apologies if this is a duplicate, I'm having a few email issues at the moment. Anyone there? I count no messages on this list for the last four days at least. Has anyone looked at the latest prototype? Does it do everything you ever wanted? (somehow I doubt it). Does anyone have suggestions, bugs, documentation, sample applications or opinions of any type they wish to share? Or am I talking to myself here? As an update to my last message, I've tracked down the bug in the WorldClock sample and am hoping to have a patch available later this week. As an aside I tried testing this sample under cygwin and it will not work. There is a known bug with time.timezone() on cygwin python that causes an incorrect value to be returned and this messes up all of the delicate calculations. There is a patch on sourceforge for this so I'm hoping it will get included in Python 2.2 (or at least 2.3). Anybody else come across platform specific issues that may trip us up? I've also been looking at Gadfly, initially for inclusion in the dbBrowser sample application but with a view to using it as one of our persistence mechanisms. Its looking good but needs a little work at the Gadfly end (mainly because it uses regex rather than re), any assistance is, of course, welcome.

As for myself, I am learning Zope. And I really like some things about it which probably will be appropriate for PythonCard too. I like the way Zope stores it's objects in a hierarchy of containers (named folders) and how preperties and objects could be easily reused if stored above or in this folder. Also, I like the idea of Zope management interface. It will be nice to have a mode where logic objects reveal themselves visually. For example, if PythonCard app needs database connection to do a query, it could use one defined in the enclosing containers. Hypercard did acquisition by adding stacks to the path. Zope does the same by using folders. PythonCard could go further by allowing drop-in objects. Programmer could drop a logic object into stack and use it's functionality. To summarise, in Zope I saw a way to have logic, presentation and content consistently present in the organized manner with simple property acquisition rules. So, probably, in PythonCard it could be beneficial to have something like this. That was just an idea. I do not know how this could be visually presented. But some container-structure browser could be built, no doubt.
