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.
I've been recommending people wanting to use page templates outside of Zope use the version from Zope 3. I've not had time to follow-up with the people that have been experimenting with it, though. The code in ZTUtils' __init__.py is scary, partly because of the import-order issue. If the condition should remain at all, it should be implemented using the usual pattern:: try: import Zope except ImportError: # extra stuff goes here ... The assignments could be made non-conditional without introducing problems, so they should be. I'm not sure what the intent of the additional imports is; that seems very strange since there's no alternative implementation if the Zope package hasn't been imported. -Fred -- Fred L.
