Thanks for the reply. I'll try 2.7, as I just started and have only two sql apps written using DTML. I managed to get MySQL to work in 2.7, but had to remove a line of python code from db.py Regards, Frank Rocco farocco@hotmail.com

Thanks, I think I was using the wrong version for 2.7
also, should we be using 2.7 and moving away form 2.6.4?
There's no right answer to this question. I would suggest that if you are early enough in your development and can benefit from the features of Zope 2.7, switch to it. Traditionally we only maintain two major versions of Zope (currently 2.6 and 2.7), so when 2.8 lands that probably means the end-of-life for 2.6.
If you are deployed on 2.6 or quite nearly there, then stick with it unless a feature of 2.7 is compelling enough to warrant it. 2.7 is already in use in Production and has been for some time, however 2.6 has been in production much longer and by many more people and more people are familiar with it.
Another issue is Python versions. Both 2.6.4 and 2.7 can run under Python 2.3.3. Only Zope 2.6.4 can run under Python 2.1, so if you have a component that cannot yet run on the latest Python, that could make 2.6 more attractive.
