Second, I am MYSTIFIED (there's no better word) that DC is in such a rush to REQUIRE the use of Python 2.1 for Zope 2.4, when we're still waiting for Py 2.1 final to even come out. Why put all your eggs in that basket, and why force the community to choose between changing to a bleeding-edge Python or retiring to a frozen Zope rev? My experience with the Python development process is very good.
New versions contain few problems which are rapidly eliminated. I will switch to Python 2.1 (now using Zope with Python 2.0) immediately when it becomes available (has nice features, I fought for since a long time (nested namespaces)). You will only be affected for Zope 2.4. I think, it will take several month, before it is final. Dieter
