Some packages import unittest2 if they depend on Python 2.7+ unittest features, but don't make an effort of trying to check if the standard unittest already supports those features. If ZTK 2 drops compat with Python 2.6 then this package is not needed, and any packages that break because of it should just do conditional imports, and they'll keep working. IMO, if the ZTK pins a version of something that exists solely to allow forward compatibility with later Python versions, then this something is not required to work with all Python versions.

[Zope-dev] ZTK Porting Status
Hi all, I went through the ztk-versions.cfg file and verified availability of a Python 3 port. I commented the ztk-versions.cfg file. Below are the relevant sections. If we remove all deprecated pacakges and packages that should not be in use anymore, only the following dependencies/toolchain packages require a Python 3 port: z3c.checkversions z3c.recipe.compattest zope.kgs zc.resourcelibrary zope.mkzeoinstance ZODB (awaiting merge of py3 branch) Luckily we control all these packages. These packages should just be removed from the file: # Deprecating # zope.broken was only needed for ZODB3. zope.broken = 3.6.0 # zope.server has been forked and ported to Py3 under the name "waitress". zope.server = 3.8.6 # RestrictedPython and thus zope.untrustedpython are hard to port to Py3. zope.untrustedpython = 4.0.0 # No package should depend on ZODB3 anymore. ZODB3 = 3.11.0a2 # mechanize should only be needed for testbrowser. mechanize = 0.2.5 Dependencies missing a Python 3 port: # XXX: Where do we need that? Paste = 1.7.5.1 # PasteScript should not be needed anymore, since zope.paste supports serving # directly now. PasteScript = 1.7.5 # Fix by removing it from the ZTK? RestrictedPython = 3.6.0 # XXX: Where is this needed? unittest2 = 0.5.1 # Should just be ported. zc.resourcelibrary = 1.3.4 zope.mkzeoinstance = 3.9.5 # Needs merge of py3 branch. ZODB = 4.0.0a4 # toolchain # Missing py3 port z3c.checkversions = 0.4.1 # Missing py3 port z3c.recipe.compattest = 0.13.1 # Should not be needed anymore: z3c.recipe.scripts = 1.0.1 # Missing py3 port zope.kgs = 1.2.0 Regards, Stephan -- Entrepreneur and Software Geek Google me.
