Message: [QUOTE="Diez B. Roggisch, post: 1748324"] I've got a database-driven website that's written entirely in PHP. Regardless my answer to Lothar's posting (which is about zope not beeing python), I agree with him that webware appears to be close to what you are expecting from a web-framework. So the transition to webware might be the easiest, if you want to do it as straight-forward as possible. Mind you, I never worked with webware so far, but it looks promising. However, ZOPE has a different approach. Its outstanding feature is the built-in database ZODB. This is a hierarchical strucured object-orientied database with versioning. It stores everything - app-logic, templates and data. Together with CMF/Plone or ZMS, there exist nice and clean dublin-core aware data-from-layout-abstractions. Setting up a blog or even much more complicated, content driven website is only a matter of a few clicks. All editing of content is done via the webbrowser, and as zope comes with its own user-model, its easy for you as admin to create new accounts and grant fine-grained access to your sites for their respective authors/editors/whatever. So I would definitly advise you to take a look at zope - install it and play around with it, especially with plone or zms. But as said before - if you are actually seeking for the smoothest transition, you might be better off with webware. Regards, Diez [/QUOTE]
