You can check yourself. All text files should have the property 
svn:eol-style:

   $ svn proplist foo.txt
   Properties on 'foo.txt':
     svn:eol-style
   $ svn propget svn:eol-style foo.txt
   native
   $

Maybe so, but randomly adding a prompt to a doctest is asking for trouble...

I'm sure Python 2.4 brings a lot of nice advantages, of which I 
personally consider the decimal type least significant for Zope 3. 
However, Zope needs to be deployable and will want to ship with Linux 
distributions, for example. Python 2.4 has not been established 
everywhere yet; not all third-party software has been audited for 2.4 
compatability yet, etc. etc.
