In other news Zope 2.13.0a2 now officially supports Python 2.7.
How can Zope 2.13 support Python 2.7, when the ZTK 1.0 does not?
Zope 2.13 only uses the ZTK "core" part and overrides the ZODB3 requirement to use a 3.10 release. All tests on Python 2.7 pass for all the zope.* packages. It's only the zopeapp set and the ZODB which aren't compatible. So from a Zope2 perspective we can support Python 2.7 in addition to 2.6 rather easily. Since everything works, it doesn't make a lot of sense to hold off official 2.7 support. The ZTK has more code and other Python versions to support, so it's in a different position. Hanno
