Unless I am mistaken, Zope 2.5.1, 2.6.0, 2.6.1 all *require* Python 2.1.3 and will not work with Python 2.2 and later.
Do we have a problem?
No, because
* Python 2.1.3 runs very reliably. We do not need maintenance for it.
* Zope 2.6 does run with Python 2.x (for "x >= 2")
Really? Is that official? Because actually, there's a lot of 3rd party modules that require 2.2+ (the first that comes to mind is the "constraints" module), that I would like to start using. So being forced to stick with 2.1 has been a bit annoying (have to maintain two versions of Python, can't integrate some packages with Zope, etc).
If it works, thanks for the info. I'll definitely try it out.
ONe other snag: python >= 2.2 adds docstrings to many built-in types that did not previously have them. This exposes a lot of new stuff via the web which could be a security risk. IIRC this is addressed in the 2.6 CVS branch, but it's not in the released 2.6.0 or 2.6.1.
I assume it's a no-brainer that Zope3 will work with later Python versions, of course.
currently zope x3 requires python >= 2.2.3. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's ALMIGHTY HAMMERLIKE ROBOT INDUSTRIALIST! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
