Every improvement will lessen confusion for countless multitudes until the end of time. Perfection is overrated 0.9 wink. Yeah, e.g. even if we never get our butts in gear to release it, Chris's 2.7 version of the Zope Book is still vastly better than the 2.6 version (which was vastly better than 2.5, etc.) Thanks for doing it, BTW! Some things get so out of date that paralysis is the natural reaction -- but a chain of small improvements can turn that around. Agreed.

[Fred Drake] I don't see a need to include the disclaimer about Python 2.4; I test on 2.4, and use Zope 3 trunk with 2.4.1 all the time. [Paul Winkler] Maybe you do, but it really is a FAQ, and that's the consensus response from the chorus every time it comes up on the main zope list, so I feel justified :-) It's the right answer, too. No security audit has been done against Python 2.4 for Zope use yet, and Zope Corp won't officially bless 2.4 for use with Zope until that's been done. Note that the story is different for ZODB: Python 2.4+ is officially blessed for standalone ZODB use. This is one advantage of keeping DTML out of the storage layer wink. ___ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
