To me, the driving factor is that Python 2.4 is no-longer supported by the Python developers.

I agree. We have to support Python 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 already. There is also a desire to use newer releases, since they get us closer to Python 3.

At this point, the burden of keeping 2.4 compatibility is too high for ongoing development. If your underlying stability requirements are such that you cannot upgrade, or even install and use a newer non-RPM python, then you should stick with the stable ZTK 1.0 release. Note that nothing prevents us from making a 1.0.x release containing package versions with critical fixes backported (although I don't think anybody is signed up to do that work at present).

[Zope-dev] Python 2.4 Support
Hi, i have a little question. Is there a chance to not drop Python2.4 Support for ZTK1.1? I ask because Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 is shipped with Python2.4, and should have been supported for some years from now.
