 Please see http://www.zope.org/Members/pje/Wikis/TransWarp for tutorials,  
 FAQs, package layout, etc.  
   
 At this time, the 'Features', 'Aspects', 'SOX', and 'tests' modules  
 and packages are usable, if not necessarily full-featured.  
   
 All other modules/packages (except as imported by the above) are  
 under heavy construction - don't enter without a hard hat!  (That is,  
 use them at your own risk.  Although, there's no warranty that any of  
 the other stuff works, beyond the fact that the tests run on my  
 home computer.)

    Package Description
   
       PEAK is the "Python Enterprise Application Kit". If you develop
       "enterprise" applications with Python, or indeed almost any sort of
       application with Python, PEAK may help you do it faster, easier, on a
       larger scale, and with fewer defects than ever before. The key is
       component-based development, on a reliable infrastructure.
   
       PEAK is an application kit, and applications are made from components.
       PEAK provides you with a component architecture, component infrastructure,
       and various general-purpose components and component frameworks for
       building applications.  As with J2EE, the idea is to let you stop
       reinventing architectural and infrastructure wheels, so you can put more
       time into your actual application.
   
       But PEAK is different from J2EE: it's a single, free implementation of
       simpler API's based on an easier-to-use language that can nonetheless
       scale with better performance than J2EE.
   
       PEAK is the successor to TransWarp, an experimental toolkit for software
       automation in Python.  PEAK takes the best of the techniques and ideas
       from TransWarp, and repackages them as an enterprise software toolkit.
       Where TransWarp emphasized techniques like generative programming and
       aspect-oriented programming, PEAK emphasizes enterprise applications,
       and hides the computer scienece stuff "under the hood", so you can focus
       on building your application.
   
       PEAK tools can be used with other "Python Enterprise" frameworks such as
       Zope and the Python DBAPI to construct web-based, GUI, or command-line
       applications, interacting with any kind of storage, or with no storage
       at all.  Whatever the application type, PEAK can help you put it together.
