ZODB and Python 2.5

I'm going to have to delay upgrading to Python 2.5 until all the
libraries I use support it. One key library for me is ZODB. I've Googled
and can't find any information on the developers' plans. Does anyone
have any information that might help?

Since the Python development team tries hard to maintain backwards
compatibility, the vast majority of Python packages will automatically support
the newest release of Python in that they will work just dandy. Developers don't
really have plans to do that kind of support since it just happens.

If you mean something else by "support" (like making use of new language or
standard library features), then what do you mean?

I would suggest, in order:

1) Look on the relevant mailing list for people talking about using ZODB with
Python 2.5.

2) Just try it. Install Python 2.5 alongside 2.4, install ZODB, run the test suite.

Been there, didn't find anything. Except that recently released versions
of Zope (2.9.5 and 2.10.0) aren't compatible with Python 2.5. [Being
pedantic 2.9.5 "doesn't work" under Python 2.5, 2.10.0 is merely
"unsupported".]
2) Just try it. Install Python 2.5 alongside 2.4, install ZODB, run the
test suite.
Now if ZODB had been pure Python, or I was using a Unix(ish) platform I
would have tried that. Getting set up to compile C extensions under
Windows is a bit too much hassle. I can wait ;-).
