Hello all - [I'm intentionally cross-posting this because there are a number of folks using CVS that may read only one or the other] If you've looked at the dev.zope.org site lately, you have probably noticed a preliminary Zope 2.4 plan: http://dev.zope.org/Resources/zope_240_plan.html The major goal of Zope 2.4 will be to make Python 2.1 the officially supported (and required) Zope platform. A project dedicated to assessing what that involves has been started at: http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/SupportPython21/FrontPage Enough progress has been made on identifying tasks that we want to start getting some things done. However, this will have an effect on those of you that are currently running from the Zope CVS. We are soon going to begin checking in changes to the head of the Zope CVS that will require the use of Python 2.1. Once we start on the 2.4 tasks, you will not be able to use a public CVS checkout of Zope with older Pythons. We are not going to start this until after Python 2.1 final is out (expected next monday), but wanted to give CVS'ers fair warning. If you are using the current public CVS and don't want to start using Python 2.1, you should either avoid doing any CVS updates until you're ready to migrate or move off of CVS to a current (2.3.1) release.
