Really? Is that official?  Because actually, there's a lot of 3rd party
modules that require 2.2+ (the first that comes to mind is the "constraints"
module), that I would like to start using.  So being forced to stick with
2.1 has been a bit annoying (have to maintain two versions of Python,
can't integrate some packages with Zope, etc).

If it works, thanks for the info.  I'll definitely try it out.

I assume it's a no-brainer that Zope3 will work with later Python versions,
of course.

Cheers,
Terry
