I just looked at the PyPI page of 'transaction':

And I see some weirdnesses:

1.0 (unreleased)
What's up? Clearly something went wrong during the releasing of this package, at least documentation-wise. Should be fixed.
The documentation is wrong indeed.
Note that zope.sqlalchemy pulls in this package as a dependency, even though I don't think ZODB 3.8 comes with that version of transaction...
The transaction module has been moved out of the ZODB egg for ZODB trunk aka 3.9 as far as I know. That means the stand-alone transaction package can probably not be used with any ZODB 3.8 versions. But except the wrong documentation, I don't see a problem with the release as such. IIRC someone wanted to use it outside the ZODB and it was moved out and got an early alpha release. Hanno
