How about "zope.transaction"?
Guido recently told me that people in the Python community at
large assume that anything in the Zope namespace is assumed to be
Zope specific, so I'd rather not put it there.
Does it matter? People who are allergic to the name "zope" can
probably lose.
It maters to me.
OK. I defer here. But in general, I think what would probably work
better than a new "z" namespace or any other avoidance of the "zope"
name is is better dependency specifications, so people would feel
better about trying to "easy_install" zope.* packages. Tres suggested
yesterday that we should write a buildbot-like thing that checked out
each top-level package in SVN and installed it into a fresh virtualenv
to see what its dependencies actually are and fix the too-conservative
dependencies.
I've made a 'zope.transaction' package that I'll rename to
'transaction': one test still fails in its current state, which I
should get fixed today:
http://svn.zope.org/zope.transaction/trunk/
WeakSet is in weakset.py. It also contains TimeStamp, which will get
moved out of persistent.
The tests work (reqt's are downloaded) if you do "setup.py test -q"
