As that seemed to be the most popular, although I personnally prefer 3.
Resolving this peacefully is becoming more urgent for me as I'd like to be able to use Five (Zope 3 on Zope 2) on Windows eventually.
Is there some workaround?
Sure, put "zope" in a different directory.
I don't understand what this means. A different directly on the python path?
Yes.
I'd really hate to have to wait for a mythical Zope 2 release (likely not 2.8) that renamed Zope to something else, for instance.
I had planned to do this in Zope 2.8, mainly because I wanted to include zope.interface in 2.8, mainly to address the difficulty of installing the Interface shim. Your recent work makes the shim unnecessary. I'm really anxious to get 2.8 out, so I'm inclined not to include zope.interface in 2.8, and thus not deal with the zope vs Zope issue in 2.8.
So what does this mean for Five on Windows?
It means that you should tell people to put zope in a different directory than Zope. Both of these directories need to be on the Python path. Alternatively, we can continue as planned to include zope.interface in 2.8, in which case we'll need to implement option 4 of the above proposal. I'll note that 2.8 has some huge potential benefits: - MVCC - Cyclic GC of zope objects that make it increasingly desireable yo get it out as soon as we can.
