I'd like to put down some effort this week during the EuroPython sprint to go forward with zope.testing for Python 3. zope.testing 3.9.5 is already deprecating zope.testing.testrunner, but I need to remove it so that I can port zope.testing to Python 3 without going mad. (zope.testrunner runs on Python 3 already, although installing it fails, because it tries to install zope.testing 3.9.5.)
The questions are (some have been discussed before, but I don't remember the outcome):
My opinions:
1. Should there be BBB imports of zope.testrunner into zope.testing? We can do that to get a longer deprecation period, a couple of months isn't very long).
No.
2. Should I release the testrunner-free version before I port to Python 3, or should we do both at once?Doing both at once of course risks more problems than one at a time. On the other hand we might want all changes at once to lessen annoyance.
Do whatever is easiest for you. One option would be to release as eggs for Python 3 only. That way, you shouldn't be affecting Python 2 users.
3. It should be zope.testing 4.0.0, right?
