Yeah. A lot of syntax changes were added to 2.x but all that python code is still backward compatible (1.5.2 code should all run on 2.x versions). Its just that diveintoprogramming already uses the new syntax and so isn't compatible with the older versions. > I'll just get RPM's tomorrow at the office - quite large to get over dialup: > http://www.python.org/2.2/rpms.html > I'd suggest using the 2.1 version because the 2.2 is still beta (and there are some syntax changes in 2.2 which might cause differences in behavior in some of the programs, i.e. nested scopes is no longer optional)... and I believe diveintopython assumes you are using 2.1... Its available at http://www.python.org/2.1/rpms.html If you want to know the differences between 2.2 and 2.1 check out this document: http://www.amk.ca/python/2.2/ > Now to study the Zope RPM's I've downloaded... > Just make sure the Zope version is at 2.4.1 or higher (it uses Python 2.1 BTW) The latest RPMS ar available here: http://www.taupro.com/Downloads/Zope/Zope241 HTH.
