Re: [SQLObject] Zope 2/Python 2.1 support

Ok, thats pretty simple for you to do (maybe not entirely safe, but
that's another issue...) . For using it in Python Scripts you'll
probably have to make a security assertion that SQLObject classes are
importable. I would add one by one until it gets usable, because you
may not need all of them.

| Nah, I'm not a big fan of Twisted.  Nice guys, some good ideas, but I
| don't think asynchronous programming makes much sense past low-level
| stuff.  Just as an example, SQLObject would not work well with Twisted
| at all, since it hides blocking code (i.e., database calls), and you
| have to be very careful about such code when doing asynchronous
| programming.  Twisted is very different from Zope, but just as insular,
| which is a big drawback for me.
| 
| I've worked with Webware a fair amount, and I've now I'm hoping to help
| bring together all the similar alternatives, of which there are an
| excessive number.  And then there's the form processing library which is
| always on the back of my mind, but always feels a little way off for
| me...

Like, you want to write a standalone form processing library for using
with SQLObject? Or do you have a existing implementation in mind that
you want to adapt?
