Things happen when you change systems - a few days ago i moved to a new notebook with Ubuntu 9.10 and found myself with a system Python 2.6. I was curious about how to make Grok run on it without patching a number of eggs as i did before a year ago.
Enter Zope Toolkit aka ZTK, a set of libraries intended for reuse by projects like Zope2, Zope3 and Grok. ZTK currently supports Python versions 2.4 - 2.6.
Indeed extending Grok with ZTK versions worked almost out of the box for me. Within a week Souheil Chelfouh, Jan-Wijbrand Kolman and me did all necessary changes and released Grok 1.1a1.
The release is not visible on PyPI atm - but available for download.
You can also use it with grokproject like
$ grokproject --grokversion==1.1a1 project_name
This will install the Grok-1.1a1 release and setup a project as usual. Btw, your project will now run on Python 2.6 too.
We ask all people to test their existing projects with the alpha release and are happy to collect feedback for a second alpha or beta even.
