I would like to propose backporting some of the fixes needed for Python 2.5 and 2.6 all the way down to Zope 2.10.
I would *not* backport changes to RestrictedPython because those are actually features (support for newer versions of Python) as opposed to the other changes, which are just 'bugfixes' IMHO.
Would anyone be against this?
I find this pretty disturbing as it implies you *would* be running Zope 2.10 on Python 2.5 or 2.6 without fixing RestrictedPython.
RestrictedPython is its own package. If Zope 2.10 / 2.11 does not produce errors when being run under Python 2.5/2.6, you obviously need to run the latest RestrictedPython version with it to get a complete functioning system. Since RestrictedPython is its own package this is easy to do. As long as we don't advertise any kind of support for Zope 2.10 / 2.11 and Python 2.5 and 2.6 I don't see a problem with Sidnei's suggestion. Having a them available for review in a branch as Andreas requested is still a good idea. Hanno
