I have looked at all the ones I know of but they all lack some of the features or control I need. I need to have a lot of users changing and editing content (text only) and it all goes to an editor. All layout, graphics and photos need to be filtered through a different person. Some types of content ie news needs to be approved by a vice president. Zope can be extended to do all this but with what I would need to do to extend it I might as customize it and write it myself. I do have a little experience with Python as I have written a POS system in it. The CMS I need will eventually even handle online registration as I work for a Bible College. I don't see it as reinventing the wheel I just don't like being tied down to a framework. That is why I don't like Websphere or J2ee. <snip> > I have not tried the templating system being developed for mod_python; > if you're considering mod_python, you should also try its native > templating system. What is mod_python's templating system? Is it PSP. I am trying to get PSP working now and I cannot seem to get it to work. I am using mod_python 3.01 with apache 2 on a RH9 box. When I goto the page I just get the psp code? :-s Any ideas? _____________________________________________ Mod_python mailing list Mod_python at modpython.org http://mailman.modpython.org/mailman/listinfo/mod_python
