The impression I get from the Zope dev site is that 2.3.0b1 (and possibly before the beta) will compile and run under Python 2.0, but I haven't tried it myself. Anything 2.2.x needs patches, which I couldn't get working right after a couple hours of tinkering with it. Python 2.0 support will not be 100% "supported" in 2.3 final, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't run.
Yes - 2.3 contains some changes (thanks mostly to Toby Dickenson) that let it build and run w/o patches under Python 2. Python 2 is still not "officially supported", in that you are on your own if you run into problems that are Python 2-specific and 2.3 doesn't make use of any 2.0 features (unicode, etc.) I expect Zope 2.4 to be mainly about moving offically to Python 2 (2.4 will likely require Python 2) and integrating unicode, etc. Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations www.digicool.com
