globalmodules also imports deprecated modules sets and multifile. :( I just noticed that globalmodules uses a trick to avoid importing md5 and sha in Python 2.6 by checking whether json is importable. I'll use this same trick for sets, multifile, and mhlib. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org 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 )
