The Kompany has added to its latest version of Quanta Gold the beginnings of
native support for Zope and Python Web application development. This includes
the ability to access a running Zope server through an integrated FTP client
and directly edit DTML objects and Python scripts. The first phase provides
customizable syntax-highlighting for DTML and Python, as well quick access to
the "_" namespace functions and the math, string, and random modules. With
each release, more integration will be available, for things such as Zope
Page Templates and XML.

Quanta Gold is a cross-platform Web application environment available for
Linux (x86 & PowerPC), Windows (NT/2000/XP, etc.) and MacOS X. It's similar
to Allaire Homesite with tight support for open source Web platforms such as
Zope, PHP, Python, and Perl. It provides extensive code-editing facilities,
advanced CSS support, project management capabilities, CVS integration,
markup validation thanks to TIDY integration, instant rendering previews,
fast DOM parsing and node-based editing of markup documents, and extensive
reference documentation.

Suggestions and feedback are welcomed from the Zope community. More
