The Zope version of Gadfly isn't easily separated from the main Zope CVS
and is only really included for the Zope tutorial. Whilst we can say
"incorporate Zope's changes" the practical result is a manual comparison
of the actual files to find out what has been changed as I don't believe
a CVS repository of the original Gadfly source is available.
However, Aaron Watters (the author of Gadfly) has recently re-surfaced
and promised to update Gadfly to work with Python2+, see his post to the
DB-SIG mailing list here;

So patience would seem to be the watchword here.

Andy
