The python interpreter now works a little different. The zope functioning itself would be ok. But zope also allows python scripts to be run in restricted, safe mode. This is achieved by interpreting the python code by zope itself! The changes/added features in python2.5 were simply so major that large part RestrictedPython would have to be rewritten. Not only rewritten, but 2 versions of zope (for each python) would have to be maintained. With limited human resources this would significantly slow development of zope. So Jim Fulton made a difficult decision to focus on development of zope 2 and its fluent transition to zope 3 (here I have to say that zope2 and zope3 are very very different) and not support python 2.5 until ... sometime (this can mean a year fi). So there is no way to make zope compatible with python 2.5 without a lot of human workforce. We agreed ^^^ that the only solution is to make packages of python 2.4 and zope (configured to prefer python 2.4) in BS. It is MY fault that it is not done yet. I focused on other task that I thought were higher priority (yes, I should have written it here). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
