I wouldn't say Zope 2 is fully ported over yet. We have a summer of code 
project to make sure that Zope 2 runs on Python 2.5. Once that is done, 
we can move everything over to Python 2.5. If I understand the plan 
right, hat'll probably be Zope 3.5 and Zope 2.12. I don't think there 
should be a problem with Zope 3.4 saying it supports Python 2.5 too, 
though. We'll start doing that officially for Grok too at some point.

Once Zope 2 has gone over to Python 2.5, we can start using Python 
2.5-isms in our library code. We shouldn't do that before.
