Hi there,
After a lot of work we have progress to report on the dependency reduction front:

It's been a lot of work to get this far and there's a huge amount of work to be done still, but there is progress!
The second dependency graph is against the trunks of all the packages, as we haven't done the releases yet to make this real. We will look into this tomorrow. We also need to document the various procedures we have been using to do this work so that others can jump in and help us.
Excellent work! Looking at the zope.container graph: - - The zope.publisher dependency is purely there for the 'traverser.py' module, which probably doesn't belong in zope.container at all: it only imports interfaces to set up __adapts__, which suggests that it should be in zope.publisher, or some other package which depends on both (losing the __adapts__ wouldn't be terrible, for instance). - - The dependency module pulls in zope.app.dependable: I think it would make more sense to move the event subscriber *into* that package. which would remove the other, indirect dependency on zope.traversing. - - The 'testing' module should lose all the zope-specific module-scope imports, even if that means losing some convenience. - - The 'contained' module has a bunch of dependencies, including a suspicous one on zope.app.broken: if the IBroken check is really needed, then that interface should be moved to another package. - - The zope.exceptions dependency, again from contained, is due to the use of a couple of dubious zope-specific exceptions: o UserError should probably be replaced with the standard ValueError. o DuplicationError should probably be replaced with KeyError.
