Hi,
some time ago zope stopped working with recent python (2.5 currently) and is stuck with python-2.4 . If you want to know more about this problem, please read bug #221256 .
To solve this, I've created zope packages that can live with python-2.5 installed. It'd be fine to have a project for them:
python-2.4 - modified, so that it does not collide with
python (currently 2.5) zope-python-2.4 - zope that explicitely uses python-2.4 zope3-python-2.4 - zope3 that explicitely uses python-2.4
I suggest a name "zope" for the project since this is purely zope issue. I don't know of any other python program which has stopped working on python-2.5.
Thanks for your suggestions,
I've just double-checked: While Zope 2.8.9 (latest from 2007-03-25) does work
with Python 2.4, the supported Python version is 2.3.5. If we have to ship it
with its own Python, shouldn't we use the supported one, not the last one
known to not cause major problems?
OTOH as Zope3 explicitly needs a Python 2.4.4 we'd need to separate the two.
So maybe the Python 2.4.x choice is an acceptable compromise ...
BTW, do we have any feedback from the Zope community if they want to get rid
of this problem any time soon? I'm a big Zope fan in general, but this
requiring a certain Python version really causes more problems that it
should.
Cheers
Joachim
