Can anybody tell me whether this implies it is backward compatible in python2.4?

If you change the API it isn't backwards compatible. The question is if this is a problem or not, if anything outside Zope itself is using this call, which is hard to say.

Options here are

  1. Deprecating the "with" parameter for "with_" and supporting both in 2.12 but not supporting Python2.6.
  2. Using **kw in the argument and looking for noth "with" and "with_", that way, which will be backwards compatible.
