In the meantime, I've gotten rid of 'zope.transaction' and I've

running the tests.
Yay!
I think you are pretty close to done -- if not done. Much thanks.
I wish there was a way to state anti-requirements in setuptools.
Then we could say that transaction had an anti-requirement for
ZODB3 < 3.9.
Yeah, especially given that I removed a deprecated method
(beforeCommitHook), so its installation may tend to break running
systems. Maybe I should put it back, as systems will probably
continue to "just work" even if they have this installed for any
system that uses a recent Zope.
I'm not sure what's best here. One option might be to write
something that searches sys.path looking for and complaining about
multiple transaction modules.
BTW, it would be nice to now remove the transaction package from
the ZODB trunk and make it a dependency.
Yes. ZODB's setup.py is polyglotic... it works if setuptools isn't
installed. I suspect it shouldn't continue to given that it now
has an external egg dependency.
My intent, if I can find time, is to rewrite the setup script from
scratch and require setuptools. I suspect it will be much simpler at
that point.
