[Zope-dev] Zope 2.7 running with Stackless 3.0

[Christian Tismer]

Dear friends,

just by chance, I got into the position to try out
Zope 2.7.0 beta 1/2, and since it needs Python 2.2.3
at least, and Stackless 3.0 was just ported to that, I tried
to build Zope with Stackless 3.0.

It works very very well! After a few patches to get the includes
right, here the installation instructions.

Get the current Stakless 3.0 beta.

CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous at centera.de:/home/cvs
export CVSROOT

cvs co stackless

cd stackless/src
./configure
make
# su if your weren't root
make install

Then, install the Zope source, and make the same dance as usual.

Just a note:
Zope doesn't (yet) use any of the Stackless features.
It just builds and works with it. But of course, *you*
can use the stackless features, of course.

I also expect, that Zope will create a branch in some future
and implement a new Medusa which doesn't need real threads.

cheers and let me know of your experience -- chris
