How did we decide this? Shouldn't we follow a proposal-based policy for
a change like this?
I would favor Python 2.4 for Zope 3.2, for two reasons:
* 2.4 has been out for a while now, and it will be out for a long time
by the time december happens. Maintaining a Zope 3.2 for two python
versions is a pain.
* zope.formlib wants Python 2.4, and I want zope.formlib to be part of
Zope 3.2.
Note that this also effects Zope 2. Starting with the next release,
the Zope 2 and Zope 3 will be released together. Zope 2.9 will
include Zope 3.2. If Zope 3.2 requires Python 2.4, then so will
Zope 2.9.
We can still go back to making Zope 2.9 contain Zope 3.1 instead. I
still favor this approach where Zope 2.x trails one version behind Zope
3.x. Working with a stable Zope 3 version makes a Five developer's life
easier, and we have less release dependencies to worry about. It is a
bit frustrating for Zope 2.x developers as they don't have the latest
and greatest Zope 3.x but I don't consider this a big problem myself as
its only lagging behind 1 release cycle so they only need to wait to get
newer features.
