Fred asked about the reasoning behind recent version numbers as we ported packages to Python 3.
We decided that any package that depends on an alpha or unreleased package should itself be an alpha release. There are 2 packages that started the avalanche:
* zope.security: Tres wanted 4.0.0 to also have PyPy support, so he only did an alpha release to unblock the porting effort. Today, I finished the PyPy support and he released 4.0.0b1.
If that release doesn't bust anything over the next day or two, I will likely push out a 4.0.0 final by the end of the week. I have one question: the "zope.location" import-time monkeypatch is a wart in zope.security: could we add a ZCML directive for doing that at configuration execution time instead?
* ZODB: We currently do not have a release for a ported ZODB. For any package requiring the ZODB directly or indirectly, we added a snapshot sdist of the py3 branch into the package to demonstrate the tests passing. (See the zodb- dev mailing list for the current status.)
We are essentially blocked on figuring out how to deal with instance / moudle attribute names in pickles: they need to be "native strings" under both Python2 and Py3k. I'm pretty hopeful that Pycon will let us figure that out.
Of course, the alpha releases are really stable, all the tests pass under Python 2.6 and 2.7.
I'm agreed for the most part. Can we make it a priority to fix the failing nightly tests? Also, is somebody running / reporting tests via Travis? Where are those results going?
