[ZODB-Dev] Re: 3.8.0b2 bugginess?

Hi Jim

| I haven't had a chance to look at this yet, but I haven't forgotten  
| you.  I suspect that ZODB isn't being careful enough it its

| zope.proxy than what you have installed.  FWIW, ZODB not only imports  
| but also passes it's extensive test suite for me.

| How did you install ZODB?

On Mac OS X 10.4.8 and python 2.5 I see the same import error:

    Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)

I installed ZODB via easy_install ZODB3-3.8.0b2.tar.gz

That pulled down, built, and installed zope.proxy

    Adding zope.proxy 3.3.0 to easy-install.pth file

    Installed /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/zope.proxy-3.3.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg

which is the only available zope.proxy version at
http://cheeseshop.python.org/packages/source/z/zope.proxy/

My sys.path looks fine, with no other ZODB in it ahead of 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ZODB3-3.8.0b2-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg

Let me know if you have suggestions on how I could dig into this
further. I'll probably try ZODB3 3.8.0b1 to see if I get the same result
and/or try with the latest zope.proxy.

Terry
