Hey, But we cannot officially support Python 2.5 until Zope 2 is also ported. (This is a policy of Zope Foundation, I guess) Just to make it clear: the Zope Foundation itself never made a decision on this. In general, the Zope Foundation is not making development decisions. This was a commun

Hey, A few months ago I voiced concerns about Python 3000 breaking existing codebases and fracturing the community as a result. Various people in the community landed on me like a ton of bricks. It wasn't fun. I think Zope will be on Python 2.x for many years to come. That will give Zope a m

Hi Andreas. Yes, this is where my thoughts were going with this in the short and medium term. If you extrapolate this to not only zope, but to other folks that depend upon zope's code base, and to the code zope depends upon, this is not a good scenario. I am thinking about twisted, lxml, and ma
