weird release of transaction module
Hi there, I just looked at the PyPI page of 'transaction': http://pypi.python.org/pypi/transaction And I see some weirdnesses: * it's called 'transaction 1.0a1' * the 'changes' claim however: 1.0 (unreleased) What's up? Clearly something went wrong during the releasing of this package, at least documentation-wise. Should be fixed. Note that zope.sqlalchemy pulls in this package as a dependency, even though I don't think ZODB 3.8 comes with that version of transaction... Regards, Martijn

I'd hazard a guess at yet another brown bag release that now no-one wants to remove for the same stupid reasons that are always parrotted as soon as someone wants to remove something insane from PyPI or another source of eggs... *sulk* Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk

The documentation is wrong indeed.

The transaction module has been moved out of the ZODB egg for ZODB trunk aka 3.9 as far as I know. That means the stand-alone transaction package can probably not be used with any ZODB 3.8 versions. But except the wrong documentation, I don't see a problem with the release as such. IIRC someone wanted to use it outside the ZODB and it was moved out and got an early alpha release. Hanno

The dependency lets us run the tests easily. It's quite stable, so it doesn't seem to cause any problems if it gets downloaded into a zope 2.10 buildout. You can always use the additional-fake-eggs = transaction if it's a problem. Laurence

transaction is also used by repoze.tm in non-Zope environments such as TurboGears 2 and Pylons. Those tend to not use buildout and certainly don't want to see all of zope.* pulled in.

repoze.tm2 is the "stripped down" version which depends only on the separate 'transaction' package. The original 'repoze.tm' depends on ZODB3.
