[Zope-dev] Update on ztk kgs: Python 2.6 issues

[Patrick Gerken]

Yes, I would say so.

This
http://zope3.pov.lt/trac/browser/zope.testing/trunk/src/zope/testing/testrunner/profiling.py#L86

Was never an official feature, also I did not see an obvious alternative
http://www.python.org/doc/2.4.4/lib/profile-stats.html

Apart from that, hotshot is now unmaintained and might be removed
http://www.python.org/doc/2.6.2/library/hotshot.html

We still have the cProfile Profiler. It seems that hotshots focus was
on faster profiling, but I don't see an issue here, since nobody runs
a profiler in his production environments.

Best regards,
