[Zope-dev] Zope 2.4: Unicode, Berkeley Storage?

No, 2.4 will only do the minimum to support python 2.x. This means it
will not make use of new features in Python 2.x, such as Unicode

However, I have mature patches to do exactly this, linked below. I
have commercial products that use this Unicode support, so you can be
sure it will be maintained for some time. Further, DC have committed
to providing similar in Zope 2.4.x and there is a good chance that it
will be based on these patches.
