RE: [Zope] Comment on comments in DTMLwhat do we need in order to upgrade
zope from 2.3.2 to version 2.4?

i read somewhere i need to upgrade python to 2.1. what else do i need like
do i need other updates in order for me to update python? i seem to be
having trouble updating python from 1.5 to 2.1. it's like asking me to
upgrade my gcc version because it cannot understand a "-ldz" argument.
weird.

what is the benefit of upgrading from 2.3.2 to 2.4? i know there are a lot
of changes. but is all the updtaes of pythong and zope worth it?

i don't have an idea of what to do now. thanks.

  Toby,
  I think that DTML, mostly because of its modular and hierarchical nature,
is
  deceptively simple, but actually quite powerful.

  It is true that most individual methods or documents are simple in
  isolation, but within an entire site they represent part of a complex
  system.

  I find it is this modular nature that, in fact, drives me to want to
comment
  my code even more. If you are sharing your code or developing in a team,
it
  can be difficult to drill through many separated methods to understand
what
  is happening.

  I think you can never comment code too much.

  Thanks, Tim, for your comments, I was not aware that it had been discussed
  before.

  Tom.

  => I think one reasonable answer to this is that dtml is not really
  => designed for code. If you have logic expressed in dtml that is
  => non-trivial enough to benefit from commenting, then dtml is probably
  => not the best language to express it in.
