Oops.  I posted Quixote's 2.1 compatibility too soon:

  Python 2.1.3 (#1, Feb  4 2003, 13:44:45)
  [GCC 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)] on linux2
  >>> import quixote
  >>> quixote.enable_ptl()
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    
    File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.1/site-packages/quixote/ptl_compile.py",
      line 300, in ?
      def compile_dir(dir, maxlevels=10, force=False):
  NameError: name 'False' is not defined

I'm not sure if my singular experience should be enough bias
Quixote towards Python 2.1 compatibility, especially if 2.2
offers substantial convenience to the Quixote team.

However, since Zope has not reached Python 2.2 compatibility
yet, production Zope users may have to rely on 2.1 for a while
longer. My present alternatives include:

- Using an earlier (< 6.0b) version of Quixote.
- Checking out of CVS a Python 2.2 compliant Zope.

Please note that I'm not lobbying for special treatment.
I simply want to adjust my strategy toward using Quixote,
by understanding whatever level of Python compatibility
it intends to support over the near term.

The Quixote documentation is a pleasure to read. Thanks again.
