Python versions supported by the ZTK

What's the oldest Python version the ZTK is supposed to support? 2.4?
The ZTK docs don't seem to say anything about this.

Good point. I think right now the ZTK is supposed to support 2.4 to 2.6
(thanks to Jim's work in particular to fix it). I've added this to the
Zope Toolkit documentation now, under "development process".

I'd like to put in some timeline item for when we're going to drop
Python 2.4 support so that we can start working with Python 2.5+ features.

There's a lot else missing from the docs - like where to get the current
version of the ZTK. :)

Regards,

Martijn

Maybe there should also be a standard way of executing tests for all
supported versions of Python. Some packages such as zope.testing already
do this.

Hello Thomas,

If you're thinking of testing the ZTK KGS packages, there shall be
buildbots for that soon running tests on the
(supported OSs x supported Python versions) matrix.

While this is nice, I think it's also a good idea to make it easy for
developers to run all relevant tests *before* committing their changes.
