Ah, that might work yes. Hm, I had problems getting it to work, and I think I have it the other way around than what you said. The python code and the zcml only use zope.annotation now and I make sure that in 2.9 zope.app.annotation is available under the module name zope.annotation. And I need to do the same for zope.(app.)annotation.interfaces, otherwise problems still remain. So I now have the following in my __init__.py: try: import zope.annotation except ImportError: # BBB for Zope 2.9 import zope.app.annotation import zope.app.annotation.interfaces import sys sys.modules['zope.annotation'] = zope.app.annotation sys.modules['zope.annotation.interfaces'] = zope.app.annotation.interfaces Then it works. Thanks! If someone knows a better way to do this with some condition in zcml (not the ones that failed for me in the original message) then that would still be appreciated. BTW, for the python code a conditional import is not even really necessary: in zope 2.10 (or 3.3) you simply get a DeprecationWarning that zope.app.annotation will be removed in ope 3.5. But there is no such deprecation for the zcml file: it has simply been removed. Hm: for this reason it would be nice to still have the original zcml file in there. Then including that zcml would still work though you get a DeprecationWarning. Actually, that zcml file should then look like this: <configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"> <include package="zope.annotation" /> </configure> That would work for me too: I just tried it. Should I propose this on the zope 3 dev list? I do not currently read that list btw. -- Maurits van Rees | http://maurits.vanrees.org/ [NL] Work | http://zestsoftware.nl/ "Do not worry about your difficulties in computers, I can assure you mine are still greater." _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
