When zope 2.x is emerged it uses its prefered python which is 2.3 this is a problem if there are products which depend on 3rd party libs like ldapuserfolder, the package would not be found, because it is only installed in python 2.4 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update python 2. run python-updater 3. emerge zope 2.x 4. try usin a 3rd party python library in zope Actual Results: import error in python Expected Results: non import error
This is a problem with specific packages, not the zope itself. As for 2.7 python2.3 is the right and supported python. zope2.8 official python is also 2.3 while 2.4 should probably work. i close this bug as invalid, but please reopen bug for specific packages (for example ldap), but with severity normal.
