[Zope3-dev] Including Utilities into distro

[Stephan Richter]

Hello everyone,

I think some of the scripts in utilities should be in the X3.0 distribution. 
Here are the ones I think are important:

finddeps.py -- A very useful tool for people to determine their dependencies. 
This is particularly useful, if people wish to create zpkg-based distros.

i18nextract.py -- This is important to everyone that wants to build 
i18n-enabled applications. It is also documented in the Zope 3 book.

i18nmergeall.py -- When updating the POT file you commonly also want to update 
all PO files. This tool will find all languages in your locale dir 
automatically and updates each language's PO file. 

i18nstats.py -- A general tool to provide the status for every language. This 
can be very useful to check which translations need updating. 

importchecker.py -- Checks whether all imported objects are actually used. 
This is great for code cleanups.

pysekel.py -- A tool to create a class skeleton from an interface. This tool 
is documented in the Zope 3 book.

runurl.py -- A nice tool to run a URL and get some statistics.

I think this is it. It would be great, if these tools make it, especially the 
two that are already documented in the Zope 3 book.

Regards,
Stephan
