I have one question: the "zope.location" import-time monkeypatch is a wart in zope.security: could we add a ZCML directive for doing that at configuration execution time instead? > * ZODB: We currently do not have a release for a ported ZODB.

(See the zodb- dev mailing list for the current status.) We are essentially blocked on figuring out how to deal with instance / moudle attribute names in pickles: they need to be "native strings" under both Python2 and Py3k. I'm pretty hopeful that Pycon will let us figure that out. > Of course, the alpha releases are really stable, all the tests pass > under Python 2.6 and 2.7. I'm agreed for the most part. Can we make it a priority to fix the failing nightly tests? Also, is somebody running / reporting tests via Travis? Where are those results going?
