Re: Proposal: Rename zope package
Jim Fulton wrote:
Based on recent discussions, I've created a proposal:
http://dev.zope.org/Zope3/RenameTheZopePackage
to rename the "zope" package to "z". Unless there are strong objections, we'll do this after we move the Zope repository head to subversion at the end of the month.
I've gotten enough negative feedback to "z", that I've added an alternative 4 to the proposal: 4. Rename the Zope package to Zope2 and provide a legacy Zope package - Rename the "Zope" package to "Zope2" - Put the Zope 3 "zope" package into the same location as "Zope2" in a combined installation. - Provide a legacy directory containing a "Zope" package. There will be an option to add this to the Python path. This option will be enabled by default in Zope 2.8 and disabled by default in Zope 2.9. Importing Zope will cause a deprecation warning. The legacy Zope package will have a README.txt file that explains what it is and refers people to the zope and Zope2 packages. This would mainly impact Zope 2.

+1 I had thought about exactly this idea during the weekend but I thought the "z" alternative had such traction that it wasn't worth mentioning. The only difference is that I thought about renaming Zope to ZopeClassic or ZopeLegacy instead of Zope2 (keeping version numbers out of packages and all that...)
