Bug#549256: closed by Sandro Tosi <morph at debian.org> (zope3 removed from Debian unstable)

Hello,

(added the Ubuntu uploader of python-restrictedpython to discussion)

[my original report]
> Package: zope3

OK, but I notice that ubuntu does ship RestrictedPython in its own
package [1], which was part of my original report.  I suppose it could
make sense to include it in Debian as well, perhaps as some sort of
Ubuntu contribution ?  Is there a reason why it was not pushed to
Debian already by Ubuntu devs ?

That said, I have not yet started to look at using that package
myself, and remember reading that Zope was moving away from it,
without having heard about what replacement they were envisionning.
Maybe some of you have more background info about this whole issue ?

Best regards,
