[Zope] Re: [Zope-Annce] Zope 2.5.0 beta 4 released

[Eron Lloyd]

Those SyntaxError exceptions relate to unittests in the standard Python 
libraries. Unfortunately they print out to stdout (and make the unknowing 
user think there is a problem) and aren't surpressed by Zope's installer. It 
seems Zope runs the unit tests on install and these seem to be verbose for 
some reason (I haven't looked into it to deeply yet).

So basically, these error messages don't return anything helpful. Does the 
installation continue past the compilation or does it bomb out? Do you get a 
traceback?
