Anyone curious about the history of Zope should read [1] for how the Python web server landscape looked in 2001. [1] https://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2001/papers/html/SRichter/ZopePaper.html https://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2001/papers/html/SRichter/... I discovered Zope in late 2000 while looking for an open source web application platform. Somehow I heard about Zope and thus learnt Python version 1.5. Zope seemed to be on the cusp of greatness. The Zope conference in Paris in early 2001 was my first tech user group meeting. (Was anyone else reading this there?) I stopped with Zope in 2003. Then 7 years later got a strange sense of deja vu at a bank I joined, where its trading platform used a Python object database possibly inspired by Zope's ZODB.
