[Zope] Zope 2.7.0b1 Released

[Andreas Heckel]

Hi Chris,

ZConfig causes this dep.
Here is the traceback I get if no pyXML installed:

epiam:/var/lib/Zope2.7/bin# ./runzope
Traceback (most recent call last):

make_parser
 raise SAXReaderNotAvailable("No parsers found", None)
xml.sax._exceptions.SAXReaderNotAvailable: No parsers found

My setup:

Debian Woody

stock Python from source because there is no stable 2.2.3 Debian package
!? (Python-2.2.3.tgz)
I applied no special args ... did just configure/make/make install

Zope-2.7.0-b1.tgz (configure --prefix=/var/lib/Zope2.7)

After installing PyXML-0.8.2.tar.gz Zope2.7 works fine.

Regards Andreas
