Hi all
Is anyone using or know the current state of Zope with python 2.0 ?
I've been somewhat curious about this myself.
The current release of Zope works well on python 2.0. If you are a cautious type, you might not want to use it on a production server yet. (I would certainly recommend you dont if you allow untrusted users to write dtml)
Hmm.. well, that's good to know... which products have you tried it with so far?
Will there need to be large changes now that strings are proper objects? (the string functions are now methods of strings). If so, will this mean the phasing out of _.string ?
_.string is unlikely to go away.
String methods are currently inaccessible TTW. The security implications of opening this up have not yet been assessed.
And from the looks of things there are a large number of small changes that could be made to improve performance (such as the new 'augmented assignment' operators [ += *= /= and so on] )....
It seems likely that they will not be available in dtml (for the same reasons as regular assignment). The case for PythonMethods has not yet been investigated
I didn't mean to dtml, I meant to all the Python code underneath. I'm sure you've noticed there is a lot more to Zope than just DTML and Python methods.
