Hi there, As Christopher Lozinski pointed out, there seem to be usecases where people want to use single zope.app packages without zope.app.zcmlfiles and the whole bunch of zope.app packages it pulls in.
I think this is a non-usecase. zope.app is a namespace for the "app" part of Zope. If you want to use a part of this app then it's reasonable to assume that you want the rest: caveat developor!
Would it make sense for these packages to also register ZMI related stuff only if some condition is met (say: zope.app.zcmlfiles is installed)?
No, having apps trying to guess about their use as library code is a bad idea and should not be encouraged. Charlie -- Charlie Clark Managing Director Clark Consulting & Research German Office Kronenstr. 27a Düsseldorf D- 40217 Tel: +49-211-600-3657 Mobile: +49-178-782-6226
