Studying Zope-Zope 3 in particular-will make you a better programmer, without question.SOFTWARE PARADIGMS Stephen H. ![]() But the lessons I learned from Zope, I use constantly. It doesn’t matter if you don’t plan to actually use Zope. In fact, the pattern has led me coin this little saying: Those who do not study Zope, are condemned to reinvent it. It’s almost as if the innovations of Zope don’t really exist until somebody else reinvents them. Even when I tell people that Zope’s already done something that they’re working on, the response is usually a blank look, or no response at all. I’m somewhat ba?ed by this peculiar blind spot in the Python com- nity. ![]() It is f- quently the case that some new and much-touted development in the Python community-especially in the web application and object security arenas-is something that Zope has already been doing for many years. And yet, strangely, Zope’s role in the ongoing development of Python is little-known and little-appreciated among Python developers. Not just as technology concepts, but shipped and working in paying clients’ o?ces. Whatever the latest buzzword-be it RESTful web programming, st- dardized interfaces, pluggable components, or practical restricted-execution environments, Zope has quietly led the way, delivering the goods years ahead of anyone else. So it has been for a decade, and the trend doesn’t show any signs of st- ping.
