It's fine with me. We maybe just need to remove the C extension in it... someone (you?) provided a pure python implementation of what it does that probably runs just as fast. I wouldn't be apt include the Scheduler product in the core. I think it may be a tad too complicated. The Event product is likely superseded by the Zope 3 event system included in Five. - C _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [email protected] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
