Just a thought. About a month ago this would have sounded far
fetched, but now that Guido is in the house, when might we expect
the Zope Python version to change from 1.5.2 to 2.x? Imho for
the book the Python version for Zope should at least be 2.xa1
It seems to me that by the time the book is finalized your team
could deliver a basic core Zope 2.x Python 2.x release. My
understanding is that its not that big of an issue. I'm sure it
would just make the marketing team giddy.
It's probably a little more an issue than you think. Zope is a
I would like to get a clarifaction on this. It seems best to provide support for
Python 2.x and provide a patch for 1.5.2 if need be.
pretty large codebase and if nothing else, introducing unicode
Seem to me a 2.3 designation gives you some leeway to provide 2 versions

Don't be like a certain company that stopped dos at 6.0.
Or did they? The point is probably at some point in the future
Zope will become the Windows of Python. Leaving us with
Windows3000, Linux3000, and Python3000(W/Zope interface:-)
Go Guido, Go Guido, it's your birthday! Long live the command line interface!
can affect a great many things. Its the sort of thing that needs
to be done with a lot of thinking up front. Some work is being
done on that, (esp. by Toby Dickenson) but 2.3 won't be the
release where Python 2.0 is officially supported / required.
