Decisions, decisions! Which Python for Zope 2.6.2b5
The installation notes still say Python 2.1.3. Rumor has it that you can run under Python 2.2 but it's not recommended. In fact, the docs say explicitly not to use it. I have been using Python 2.3 through the beta period and like it--the new language features have quickly become part of my programming lexicon. Zope 2.7 is not ready for prime time use on a production site. As I remember, it will require Python 2.3. I'm setting up a production site where stability and performance are important. Whould I use Python 2.1.3 or Python 2.3? I am planning to use Zope 2.6.2b5. We've been doing our development against 2.6.2b3 and have found it to be stable.

It requires Python 2.2.3. Since the unittests of Zope 2.7 don't pass with Python 2.3 this is not a recommended combination. -aj
Thanks... I guess for the moment I'll stick with 2.1.3 for the Zope system :-( On Sun, 3 Aug 2003, Andreas Jung wrote:

Note that different major versions of Python will happily coexist on a system. I have 2.1.3 installed for Zope, but 2.2.3 installed for every other use. _______________________ Ron Bickers Logic Etc, Inc.
Actually I'll be running three versions. The RH9 version of Python 2.2.2 which seems to be required for RH system utilities (and is hacked :-( ), Python 2.1.3 for zope, and Python 2.3 for everything else. <sigh>
