I've tried some variants from CVS.

ZODB3: Same problem as above (and as described in this mailing
list on February 13 by Kendall Clark). Metatype conflict or
"TypeError: function takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)" on
attribute assignment.

Zope3 and ZODB4 (they seem to be the same):
Unit tests spew out a few:
PicklingError: Can't pickle <function f at 0x013EB880>: it's not found as=20
__main__.f
and
TypeError: isinstance() arg 2 must be a class or type

Is Zope3/ZODB4 in a usable state? Is this just some
broken tests that I can safely ignore? :-)

Or is new style classes and ZODB something for the not
quite so near future? :-(
