I think you misunderstand what I am saying. I did not tell you to *replace* the system Python. By default, the Python source package installs into /usr/local.

First off, let me state: 1) I Thank everybody who has worked so had on make this excellent zope product. And all the people who have expended their free time to help me!
2) I'm not trying to argue anybody into my work for me, but am trying to understand the problems and concepts as they affect my systems.

Jens, I thought that the linus file standard (what ever its called) was to use "/usr" when a user installs product and to "/opt" when it is a "Distro" product, in other words the place where a product is installed should not be hard coded.
/usr/local is a perfectly fine place to put non-system software. http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALLOCALHIERARCHY -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
