[Zope3-dev] Re: Seeking advice on Zope implementation - II

[pythonic]

Now we that we studied Zope3 and (almost) decided to go for it. Mainly
for I18n, L10n,  test framework and skins support which are going to
be very useful for our application.
Also would like to mention that Zope3 has great documention.

I still need some suggestions.

About the product:
Our product has pyhton backend api for which we are planning to write
web frontend based on Zope3. Since we have already established api
which is not like Zope interfaces, I am thinking of using ZPT based
forms and other pages that would simply call existing backend
whereever required.
For eg.
API has a functions like getUsersList and getUserInfo()
>> from User import  *
>> getUsersList()
['bob', 'merry']
>> getUserInfo('bob')
>> {'name':'bob', 'age': 17}
And now use ZPT to render
..
<!-- repeat user in User.getUsersList() -->
<tr>
<!-- User.getUserInfo['user'] -->
</tr>

I know this backend is not very great to start with but given current
requirement I cant change it much.
I read ZPT is always bound to the content class. First of all is it
possible using ZPTs like that without really having defined zope
interfaces, content classes and  ZCML as minimal as possible? (Am I
sounding stupid?)

TIA for suggestions.
