Btw. I just updated the Zope2 KGS over the weekend again at http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/Zope/trunk/versions.cfg It contains the latest released version of everything Zope2 depends on at least. So it should be a good base for deciding what exactly the Zope Toolkit is. > What do Zope 2 and Plone people in general think about moving to Python > 2.5 for the newer releases?

As others mentioned as long as there's no good compelling reason to drop support for a Python version I'd rather not do it. Andreas mentioned the policy for Zope 2.12: It ain't officially supported, but we won't break it without a good reason. The Plone policy is: For 3.x is: stuck with Python 2.4 For 4.0: We require Python 2.6 and won't even support 2.5. But Plone 4.0 is future-ware that will be released sometime next year.
