Plone is a great content management system, recently voted best non-PHP open source CMS in a popular yearly contest. Many Python web developers, however, find Plone somewhat heavy and are not precisely in love with Zope, the web framework behind the CMS.
 
What if you could use Plone only as a CMS and program a frontend in whichever Python web framework you want, with transparent access to the content? This way you get a proven, high-reward, low-maintenance CMS as a content backend and are free to write your application on top of that using the power and flexibility of your favorite web framework.
 
In this talk, I will show how this can be done using a couple of Plone products and simple front ends for various frameworks which can be used as a base for other required functionality.
