I knew this would happen some day, and I have thought for a long time about it already. :-) I think the trick would be to write code for Zope 3 and put it in a top-level package, like "textindexng". Inside this package you add a package "TextIndexNG" that is expected to be added to Zope 2's lib/python/Products. So the tricky part is to not run the tests in "textindexng/TextIndexNG" when testing from Zope 3's test runner. I could work with you on some testing support for this. So in effect, in Zope 3 you would have: src/textindexng +-- TextIndexNG (not used or even distributed) In Zope 2: lib/python +-- textindexng +-- Products +-- TextIndexNG I think this would be a usable pattern; what do you think?
