There are still a lot of problems with Zope 2.X and Python 2.2, even in 2.7. For example, starting with Python 2.2, builtin types have docstrings, thus the ZPublisher can publish them. While everyone agrees that the ZPublisher's policy of using the docstring is stupid, the problem remains. > I think if we release ZopeXMLMethods 1.1 _before_ > this happens, we will want to include your information > in the README documentation.

See below. >>Step 3 : >>now working with Zope >>(Zope 2.6.0 (binary release, python 2.1, win32-x86), python 2.1.3, win32) >>first i try to use the python 2.2 bidings for python 2.1.3 in Zope >>but have a import Error message. that's right. >>So try to install python 2.1 binding the installer is not abble to find installation directory. >>I use regedit to help him. ( that's not my favorite sport !!!) Well, that's a Windows problem. But you did the right thing and pointed the libxml installer to your Zope's python (which is likely not registered in the registry) >>According to sys.path I install the librairy to [Zope]\bin\lib. >> >>try first example of ZopeXMLMethods tutorial >>nice Hello world message. So, where's the problem? Everything's working now. Why should we require Python 2.2 then? Most people are running Zope 2.6 with 2.1.3 and just because they want to use *one* of many possible XSLT processors, they all of a sudden have to switch to Python 2.2 now? Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Python 2.2 (and 2.3 even more), but I believe 2.1 is currently the best platform for Zope 2. Philipp P.S.: I can't see any advancements on the XSLT parameters issue. I have safely arrived in Mexico and have some time now. Do you guys still want me to tackle this problem? |
