Is there any indication on when we'll see a 2.0 release of z3c.form?
We need a widget that's not in the 1.9 release, but is on trunk (for a list with textline value type), and are wondering whether to roll our own or wait for a new z3c.form release.
I am considering the code feature complete. I would like to get confirmation from people that (a) the z3c.pt integration works well
I have an issue with this. z3c.pt.compat creates a nasty issue when trying to package it as a Debian package.
The root cause seems to be that z3c.pt.compat declares z3c.pt as a namespace package. These are defined in the setuptools documentation to be "merely a container for modules and subpackages." [1]. z3c.pt doesn't conform to that as it contains files. This doesn't matter till you try to install it using the --single-version-externally-managed option, at which point you get file conflicts.
I've been thinking about it a while, and I think the only solution is to rename z3c.pt.compat to z3c.ptcompat, make a new release of that and migrate z3c.form. I'm willing to implement that if there's enough support.

I agree A package should never use another package as it's namespace. Which means a package can not be both a package and namespace for other packages. Some distribution concept can work with this but others don't. Malthe are you aware of this? Can you change it? Regards Roger Ineichen
