[Zope3-dev] Zope 3 on Windows - Python2.4

Yes, and on Windows different .pyd files are needed every time
Python's minor version number (the "j" in "i.j.k") changes.  That's
especially crucial this time, since 2.4 uses a different compiler and
platform C runtime library on Windows than Pythons before 2.4.

Zope Corp doesn't support Python 2.4 yet, and it's still the case that
some Zope3 tests fail under 2.4.  So you're on your own if you use
this:  get Zope3-Py2.4-pyd.zip from

    http://zope.org/Members/tim_one

These tests fail; there's already a Collector issue open about these:

SkinDocumentation (zope.app.apidoc.viewmodule)
getSkins (zope.app.apidoc.viewmodule.browser.SkinLayer)

If you bump into other new-with-2.4 problems, it would really help to
open Collector issues about them:

Have fun!
