I recall a general consensus that we would be officially supporting Python 2.5 and 2.6, and that we wouldn't deliberately break Python 2.4 without good reason. A spacial exception was for zope.interface, zope.component, zope.configuration, and their dependencies: because they were already in much wider use outside traditional Zope projects, Python 2.4 compatibility for the "bicycle seat toolkit" package subset was identified as being *more* important than the ZTK as a whole: At this point, Lennart's work has been aimed at increasing "forward" compatibility with Python >= 3.1.x: I believe that trading away 2.4.x compatibility in order to get 3.1.x compatibility is a sane choice. > If not, the svn branches used for the ZTK 1.0dev should be updated to point > to a > maintenance branch. (I suppose it's our job) Before you go down that road, I would argue that somebody needs to speak up who actually needs the whole ZTK (and zopeapp) to run on Pythonn 2.4. In particular, this means somebody who has an existing application which *both* requires staying on Python 2.4 *and* expects to be updated to use ztk.cfg and / or zopeapp.cfg, rather than a project-specific KGS or index. Note that I believe the intersection of those two sets is very likely empty at this point.
