Yes it is possible -- in fact, that is the recommended way to install Zope (depending on the vendor-supplied Python is a recipe for random headaches later).
~ $ cd /tmp ~ $ tar xzf Python-2.3.4.tgz ~ $ cd Python-2.3.4 ~ $ ./configure --prefix="/opt/zope" && make && sudo make install ~ $ cd .. ~ $ tar xzf Zope-2.7.4-0.tar.gz ~ $ cd Zope-2.7.4-0 ~ $ ./configure --with-python="/opt/zope/bin/python" \ ~ --prefix="/opt/zope" \ ~ && make && sudo make install
Then run /opt/zope/mkzopeinstance and /opt/zope/mkzeoinstance to set up the instance homes for Zope and ZEO.
Tres.
