I'd be glad to head Lennart confirm this, but I suspect this is primarily changes in exception messages; 2.7 in many places provides better messages. I found some of this with a few of the Zope-related packages that I tried testing under pre-2.7 versions of Python. If this is what Lennart's referring to, I consider this to be a problem with the tests. Unfortunately, doctest lends itself to having tests that check these sorts of implementation details, and the Zope community has certainly succumbed to that temptation. Evolving the tests to avoid depending on these sorts of implementation details is reasonable, IMO, and cuold even be considered a bugfix by the Zope community. -Fred -- Fred L.
