Great! That's the main point. I think we can close this bug now.
Thanks a lot Steve!

Exactly. 1.0 is not Python2.6-ready.

Hm, that _could_ be a problem (although this time not caused by
grokproject, I think). You could try specifying in buildout.cfg (of the
generated sample project):

extends =
   http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/groktoolkit/trunk/grok.cfg

instead of 'versions.cfg'. That should fetch Grok 1.1a2 with an updated
list of dependent eggs/versions.

At least using an 'extends' like above should come near to what in the
end will be grok-1.1.cfg or grok-1.1a3.cfg, I think.

Before releasing grokproject I'd like to sort out two remaining things I
am not completely satisfied with. But that should be done until tomorrow
evening.
