[Zope-dev] zope.testing 3.8 fails in mysterious ways

[Andreas Zeidler]

hi,

just fyi: the bug is also present in zope.testing 3.7.7 (showing up when 
testing plone.z3cform).  would it perhaps be possible to release a fixed 
3.7.8 soon, so that our buildout stops complaining again? :)

cheers,


andi
