[Zope-dev] Re: Conditional imports in ZTUtils/__init__.py

ZTUtils/__init__.py contains code like this:

# import things

This is causing me repeated headaches when writing tests, because it assumes/dictates a certain module import order. Can this go away, please? I mean we know we are running Zope, don't we?

This is part of my attempt to allow the various bits of ZPT to work outside of Zope. It assumes that the presence of the 'Zope' module is a reliable test. Perhaps this is a YAGNI, or perhaps there's a better way of accomodating non-Zope users. Cheers, Evan @ 4-am
