I've been somewhat curious about this myself. 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 ? Will the new Unicode support, does this mean Zope is now a big step closer to i18n? 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] )....
Thanks

watching closely, Curtis
Hi all
Is anyone using or know the current state of Zope with python 2.0 ?

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)
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.
Will the new Unicode support, does this mean Zope is now a big step closer to i18n?
My patches to give Zope full (full enough for me) unicode support are at http://www.zope.org/Members/htrd/wstring.
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
watching closely,
Not closely enough ;-) Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com

Hmm.. well, that's good to know... which products have you tried it with so far?

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.

Have a better one, Curtis Maloney.

Only my own ;-)
