I wonder if a fraction of the effort put into building up a parallel
python branch was put into fixing Zope to work with modern python...
would we still be worried about compat-python?
There is a good chance that we'll be looking at Python 3 in a coming
Fedora release, so Zope will be two major python releases backwards, now
seems like a great time for interested parties to work towards getting
Zope working with Python 2.6 (at least).
Spot. If it would be that easy, I would have done this already! Believe
me. But
a) I'm not a python guru and so it's very hard for *me*
b) Even the Zope guys tried and haven't made much progress yet
See also http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/Zope3UsingPython25 and that's Zope 3.
Well, while it might not be a rocket science, it's for sure *much* more
work than packaging compat-python + deps.
