Could it be that, if you specify a version of zope.testing in your setup.py that is equivalent to the version of zope.testing in your Plone app, the overwriting happens but without ill effects? I bet that would work. > The questions are: > * it's possible to run zc.async over Zope2 ? I sure hope so.

There is any way to say in the > buildout.cfg: "Ignore the zope.testing package" Not at the moment. I have been following the ZC opinion--brought about by pain, not theory, BTW--that test dependencies should be included as primary dependencies. However, your story seems like a reason to divide up the requirements, especially if my first suggestion doesn't work for you. Maybe I'll do that for the next release (1.5.0) which I hope/intend to make in the next 7 days. If that's not soon enough, you could make a local release for yourself, as you mention below, that divides out or removes the requirement. > I guess that I won't be able to run the tests for zc.async, but I > can live with that... Right. It's a shame and an annoyance, but not necessarily a show- stopper. > * If I find a way to remove zope.testing, (downloading the source > and removing that requirement, I know it's ugly) could that get me > into troubles ?? I don't believe so. Though there are no automated tests to guarantee that, of course. :-) > * Could zope.testing be require for something else than tests over > zc.async and it's dependecies?? That is not the intent. So, to repeat, I *want* it to work (easily!) in Zope 2/Plone. I think your best solution is to see if you can pin the zope.testing egg to the same version that your Zope 2/Plone app currently uses, and see if it works. If that fails, let me know.
