Gaphor package depends on zope

Hello,

I have a new version of gaphor sitting in experimental, and
I'd like to
push it into unstable.

The problem is that this package depends on zope, because it
needs
zope.component and zope.interface

Gaphor is an UML drawing tool, so I don't think that
installing the
complete zope server when installing gaphor is a fair idea
for our
users.

So I see three solutions:
 - keep the zope dependency ;
 - split zope into multiple packages (zope packagers will
bite me  and
depends on them ;
 - import private version of zope.interface / zope.component
in gaphor
code (not easy, because these zope modules depends on lots
of other zope
modules).

Any opinions about this ?

Regards,

Cédric

I think zope.interface is already available as a separate
package,
python-zopeinterface, which is self-contained.

Perhaps similar thing can be done to zope.component?

Without looking more deep into it, that should be possible.
You want to file a wishlist bug against Zope3.

Cheers,
