FYI, the current CVS head (to be 2.7) now requires 2.2.2 as per an earlier papal edict. So there will be at least some work involved in making it run under 2.1.3. I kindof feel like we already made a rather firm commitment to *requiring* 2.2.x. I did not fully agree with that decision at the time, but to renig on it now seems fairly counterproductive unless someone can provide a really good reason. I personally feel like Zope should run on 2.2.x whether required or not. Requiring 2.2.x does have the advantage of limiting the possible blessed configurations on which Zope will run, thereby making development, support and bug fixing that much easier. Otherwise I can see having to develop on Python 2.1.x and test on 2.1.x and 2.2.x. It would be nice not to have to do this when developing 2.7 only code. I realize that this would be necessary when backporting things to 2.6. -Casey _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
