[Zope] - Re: Name clashes (PIL vs Zope)...

[ namespace problem with Zope and PIL ]

Actually this problem should probably be a wake-up call for
the Python community to address the issue properly, which
is related to what Greg Ward is organizing in the dist-sig.
Zope/PIL gives us the first real-world example of what
can occur when the issue is left dormant.

Java has addressed the issue by using Internet domains
to assign namespaces, e.g.:

  com.pythonware.pil
  org.zope.zope

But this wasn't popular when suggested earlier.
