Log Message:
Updated some of the docstring.  We're giving up on Python 1.5.2.


=== StandaloneZODB/test.py 1.10.4.1 => 1.10.4.2 ===
 
-The test harness was written for Python 2.1 and requires some
-hand-holding to use with Python 1.5.2.  The tests require:
-
-  1) a recent version of unittest, which can be downloaded from 
-     pyunit.sourceforge.net;
+The test harness was written for Python 2.1 and requires some hand-holding to
+use with older Python versions.  There's probably not much hope of passing the
+test suite with anything earlier than Python 2.0.  If you are trying to use
+Python 2.0 you will need a recent version of unittest, which can be downloaded
+from pyunit.sourceforge.net.
      
-  2) distutils, which can be downloaded from
-     www.python.org/sigs/distutils-sig/;
-
-  and, if the ZEO tests are to be run,
-
-  3) a built version of Zope 2.3, which provides up-to-date versions
-     of asyncore and cPickle.
+If the ZEO tests are to be run in older Python versions, you will need a built
+version of Zope 2.3, which provides up-to-date versions of asyncore and
+cPickle.
 
-There are some complications, however, because the StandaloneZODB
-includes code from Zope 2.4, which requires Python 2.1.  If the Zope
-top-level directory and lib/python directories are added to the path,
-the BTrees tests will fail, because they pick up an old version of the
-Interface module.  But the ZEO tests won't run *without* Zope on the
-path.  So it's one or the other.
