Unless I missed something, the ZTK was globally compatible with Python2.4 recently, wasn't it? Do we want the latest changes and Lennart's work to be part of the ZTK 1.0?
For a while already people have been making changes that at least break tests on 2.4. For instance, zope.testing has some facility to pretty print a dictionary that sorts the keys, because Python 2.4's built-in pretty print module apparently doesn't do that yet, meaning random test failures can happen. But people have been updating code to use Python's built-in pretty print facility and this will only be reliable on Python 2.5 and higher. In my opinion it's time to drop Python 2.4 support anyway, but it's been going a bit haphazardly by way of bit rot.. Regards, Martijn
