Yes, but I have lots of other projects. Don't expect instant responses.

Maybe.  Not sure nodes with spaces in the names is a good idea.

In terms of plans:

- You should only use zc.zk for it's original use cases of
  service registry and discovery.  For anything else, you
  should use kazoo.

- I plan to port zc.zk to kazoo.  This hasn't been an urgent priority
  up to now (although it's been getting more so).  I was hoping to get a
  student to work on it, but that didn't work out.

  If someone is looking for a project, I'd be happy to have volunteers. :)

  There are two projects waiting for work:

  https://github.com/python-zk/zk.fauxzoo

    This is a replaceable mock, similar to what zc.zk
    provides.  It should allow application tests with or without
    connection to a ZooKeeper server.

  https://github.com/python-zk/zk.service

    This is a port of the functionality in zc,zk that's absent from
    kazoo, including the high-level data model and service registry
    and discovery.
