No, so far the two bugs are Zope's fault.  There are really only two 
bugs even though there are many test failures.  One bug is that we were 
raising a KeyError instead of AttributeError in a __getattr__(); I just 
fixed it.  The second bug is that we're not using the compiler from the 
standard library, making restricted code fail in strange ways.

OTOH the compiler in the standard library needs to be exercised and I'm 
hoping to do that today or tomorrow.

You'll be the first to know. :-)

Here's how I run the Python 2.2 tests:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.zope.org:/cvs-repository co Zope
cd Zope
/usr/local/bin/python2.2 wo_pcgi.py
rm -f inituser
/usr/local/bin/python2.2 utilities/testrunner.py -v0 -a
