[Zope-dev] not Python 2.2a1 but Python 2.2b1

[Paul Everitt]

An important aspect to consider: in some cases, you simply need the ZEO 
storage server to have large file support.  Thus, if you can get the ZSS 
running under Python 2.2, then you're set.  This is considerably less 
ambitious than getting all of Zope (e.g. the catalog) migrated to a new 
Python version.

Also, since Barry and Jeremy (or, as we say, Barremy) are now calling 
the shots on ZODB and ZEO, you can bug them about it. :^)  They're 
likely to care a lot about keeping everything in track with Python 2.x.
