Well, I doubt an alpha or beta will ever happen just because of Python 2.4.
What will happen instead is that one day Zope Corp will announce "and it's
OK to use Python 2.4 with release X.Y.Z too" -- or even "and it's required
to use Python 2.4+ with release X.Y.Z+".

> How is the roadmap?

Everyone except for a Windows user who doesn't know how, or is unable, to
compile C code, can start using Python 2.4 any time they like.  But until
Zope Corp and/or sufficient volunteers can make time enough to do a security
audit (reflect on what new holes changes in Python 2.4 might open), Zope
Corp can't officially recommend Python 2.4.

So unless you're one of those Windows users, the only thing really stopping
you is you <wink>.  If you are a Windows user who can't/ won't/
doesn't_want_to compile C code, but want to do bleeding-edge stuff, you can
check out the Zope3 trunk and grab a zip file of precompiled 2.4-compatible
.pyd files for Zope3 from here:

Get the file named Zope3-Py2.4-pyd.zip.

Else my only advice is patience.
