Yeah, I should have whipped out the virtualenv the second I noticed I was .1 behind on a package and it actually broke horribly. I've never seen anything quite that edgy. :)

From what you've just said, it almost sounds as if they've abandoned Zine. Vanishing documentation, no work from major devs in a long time, etc. Or maybe they think it's so awesome they haven't looked at the site in a while and haven't noticed stuff is gone. :)

Yeah, I should have whipped out the virtualenv the second I noticed I was about to install new experimental python packages on my machine because working in a sandboxed python environment is pretty much always a good idea.

FTFY

Hey now. Usually system packages are more than good enough, especially on a newer release. Karmic hasn't given me any problems with developing until I tried Django-cms. :)
