In Zope programming, for example, "parent" invariably means
neither the superclass nor a factory for the object, but
rather the container object holding the object (like a file
in a directory). This follows the conventional language for
talking about filesystem directory trees, of course.

Just to make sure you're really confused.

But if you're converting PHP to Python, it seems likely that
you will one day encounter Zope.  My impression is that
people do things in PHP that are ordinarily split between
templates (ZPT or DTML) and Python "scripts" in Zope.

Of course, there are a dozen other ways to do
web-programming in Python, too.

Cheers,
Terry
