Kevin, thank you for your information. I just needed to add the next
possible release of zope.app.form to your versions listing - there is no
more zope.app.component.back35 in zope.app.component3.5.0.
Here is my config to run with Python 2.6

[buildout]
extends = buildout.cfg

[versions]
mechanize = 0.1.9
zope.app.appsetup = 3.8.0
zope.app.component = 3.5.0
zope.app.container = 3.6.1
zope.app.form = 3.6.3
zope.app.testing = 3.5.6
zope.testbrowser = 3.5.1
zope.session = 3.8.1

This makes at least a Grok trunk checkout build, test and run under
Python 2.6.

Btw, i changed etc/site.zcml.in too, as the grok.View permission is not
existing anymore.

I wonder how these changes will work with existing projects though.

It would be nice to get some hints on how to migrate the trunk to ZTK 1.0

Regards
Michael
