Hello, Zope 2.12 depends on Python 2.6, and as said, porting it to Python 2.7 is not a reasonable option.
Zope 2.13 runs on Python 2.7, but many Zope application (like the most famous Zope application, the CMS Plone) only work with Zope 2.12. A newer version of Plone will support Zope 2.13 in the future, but upgrading complex web sites from a version of Plone to another is often very painful (incompatible add-on products, complicated migration of the content, ...). As a matter of facts, at Pilot Systems (the Free Software service provider I work at) we were forced to forward-port Python 2.4 from lenny to squeeze, because we have too many Plone 3/Zope 2.10/Python 2.4 websites to be able to migrate them all to Plone 4 in time for the Lenny end of life. If it really is too complicated to keep Python 2.6 around in wheezy for the package mainteners or the security team, I can understand it, but it would be very painful for us to not have Python 2.6 in wheezy. Python 2.6 is the default Python version in squeeze. Would it be possible, as a general policy and to ease migrations, to always have the default Python version of n-1 available in n ? The default version of squeeze available in wheezy, the default version of wheezy available in the next one, ... ? It would really help a lot for migrations of complex architectures.
