Python and Zope

An environment for heavy-duty script processing Zope provides a home for scripts that comes complete with its own facilities. While Zope can be used to perform the kinds of integration scripts and scripting environments perform, Zope provides a world of its own out of the box.
Separation of roles Zope provides for separation of administration, content management, software development, and authoring. Other environments (ASP, Perl, JSP, etc.) typically require a combination of all of these roles for creating pages.
Parts is parts Like ASP, Zope has a strong selection of modules available for Web designers who want specific functionality without having to write their own code.
Open source Zope and most Zope tools are open source, giving scripters as much or more information than they need about the internals of the objects they manipulate.
