[Zope-dev] z3c.form 2.0

[Laurent Mignon]

Hi,

With the replacement of zope.app.component import with zope.site, it's 
no more possible to use z3c.form with Zope2 / Plone :-(

In fact, zope.site require zope.container requiring ZODB3 :-(

I can't find any solutions to solve this problem. It is really damage to 
lose the possibility of using z3c.form with zope2/plone ...
