[ZODB-Dev] ZODB (transaction) dependence on zope.interface

[Mike C. Fletcher]

I was just wanting to see what the new version of ZODB would be like, so 
I checked out the Zope3 tree, did a build and copied transaction, 
persistence and zodb to my Python-path.  However, the file 
transaction/interfaces.py appears to be dependent on zope.interface (it 
imports and uses it).  Is it supposed to be this way?  Should other 
parts of the "zope" package be copied for stand-alone zodb?

Should I be reporting such things as bugs, am I doing something wrong, 
or is the dev team not worrying about stand-alone yet?

Enjoy all,
Mike
