Sadly, they didn't manage to port to a modern version of Python while they were in there.

Scratch that, I see that they did port to 2.5 (the announce says "3.5", which is why my brain skimmed right past it). Apologies.

But they don't mention python 2.6. Which is amusing considering where F11 is going to be...

Mind you, if the zope devs are serious about the 6 months release cycle, this might lessen the problem considerably.

Note that most of the Python version incompatibilities are related to Zope 2's Python scripting, where changes in newer Python versions can easily lead to security holes.

In contrast Zope 3's security system only tries to protect against untrusted users rather than untrusted programmers, so supporting newer versions is a lot easier. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the zope 3 modules already run well on Python 2.6.
