Your platform makes this hard, as Zope has modules written in C that need to be compiled against the specific version of Python you are using. However, if you are using Python 2.1.3 in both cases, it may work without a recompile. Usually in this case, the worst thing that could happen is a warning that the Python C Module API versions mismatch. Even if this does work, I'm not sure what the mechanics of doing this on Windows are (I suppose this may be difficult and tedious, and require you to know what you are doing). If you have Visual C++, you might just want to compile Zope from source against the Python version you installed.

Hi, If I have python installed on my PC, can I use that installation instead of that installed with Zope? The reason is that I am having trouble installing the win32 library for python on the Zope python instance. It fails to load pywise32.dll(?). I'm using a Win98 machine.
