I would like to point out that on this thread people are getting too tied up with restrictions about *installing* stuff on the system Python and forgetting that for example, buildout will not install stuff on the system Python, but people might want to run a Zope (2) buildout on Python 2.5 just because it's the Python they have installed.
Now, putting Limi's proven incapability to start a discussion without causing major commotion from our fellow developers, let's rephrase the question: Will Zope 2 be supported on Python 2.5, regardless of whether it's a system-installed Python or not? I think we are closely approaching the EOL for Python 2.4. Supposedly when Python 2.6 comes out next year Python 2.4 will be officially discouraged and will not receive any more fixes other than security fixes. I believe this is a critical issue and the interested parts need to work together on it. Maybe the Plone Foundation and the Zope Foundation can work together and setup a bounty to fund some developer to do this work? -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems http://enfoldsystems.com Fax +1 832 201 8856 Office +1 713 942 2377 Ext 214 _______________________________________________ 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 )
