Hi Peter,

first of all thanks for trying the package! Every bug report is very
welcome!

The versions you mention are all 'Zope 2'. I haven't tested yet with any
Zope 2 stuff, but I'm pretty sure, there will be problems with it.
Apparently this is the case.

I am not sure, but read somewhere, that z3c packages like
'z3c.testsetup' stand for 'Zope 3 Community' stuff (not: Zope 2
community stuff). So I saw no need to check for Zope 2 compatibility.
Anyway, I should make that point clear in the docs and eventually try to
enable Zope 2 support. At least I will change 'Zope' to 'Zope 3' in the
docs.

BTW: have you tested with Zope 2.10?

Yes, that's the recommended way. It's also the only way described in the
docs. With buildout it's easy to install testrunners, that do not come
with z3c.testsetup. I'll explain that in an upcoming mail.

I currently would like to make the package robust enough for usage with
Zope 3. After that I might ensure Zope 2 compatibility, but this too
will cover only Zope versions >= 2.10. Although I'm not too much into
Zope 2, I guess your problem depends on the dummy zcml files that come
with z3c.testsetup.

Kind regards,
