You just noted one more disadvantage yourself: The system Python is likely to be out of step with what Zope wants. Furthermore, updates to the system Python or to add-on packages might have unintended consequences for your Zope setup.
well, "might have" is one thing, really experiencing problems is quite different...
Look, it's all about how much risk you are willing to carry. I don't like playing Russian Roulette with services that are supposed to be highly available. And I don't want to have to waste a single thought on problems that *might* develop if RedHat or their packagers decide to do something to their Python or to Python add-ons I use. I also prefer to do upgrades to these components on my own schedule, not when someone else who has no idea about my various usage scenarios thinks so. jens
