[lug] Is Zope ready for prime time?

[Steve Sullivan]

Hi,

I'm beginning a complex web site for a financial instution's
internal processing.  Reliability and security are big priorities.

It will run on linux.
My two big contenders for web software platform are ...

1. Tomcat, Java, JSP: tried and true, reliable, secure.
   But slow development time.

2. Zope, Python: Very fast development time, but is it reliable?
   I notice at zope.org there are a handful of big Zope sites.
   But as I run through the tutorials the Zope server seems to hang
   every hour or so, requiring a restart ... not especially encouraging.

My preference would be Zope, for ease of development.
Do you have experience ... is Zope reliable and secure?

Many thanks,

Steve
