Is this still an issue for Mac OS X, or is your concern for classic Mac OS? I don't know if we support that (simply because I've never heard anyone mention it). none of the alternative seem all that appealing though.. the comment No, they don't. The current Zope 3 naming for modules and packages mostly follows the current BDFL recommendations, which is nice, and is friendly to to those of use alergic to upper case letters. It also works well for case-senseless filesystems. about most z3 imports being prefixed with zope, suggests that any backwards porting with a goal of forward compatibility will require changing the existing z2 Zope package to something else, although sticking version numbers on package names doesn't hold much appeal for me. perhaps renaming z2 Zope-Core The Zope 2 Zope package is actually quite small. Perhaps renaming it is the best approach. In spite of Tres's objection, I don't see how there could be all that much code that references it. Perhaps it's referenced by some persistent objects? There's an uncertain comment in Zope.ClassFactory, and Zope.App.ClassFactory might be referenced, but otherwise the Zope package contains startup code. -Fred -- Fred L.
