Thanks to all who replied. My 'work around' was to install Zope 2.7.0, which comes bundled with Python 2.3.3 . Strangely, I couldn't find any reference to the Python version used by Zope 2.7.0 on zope.org. I only discovered this after installing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

You can call whatever version of Python you want to use when starting Zope. The binary release of that version makes a 'start' script that calls the Python binary that comes with it. You can edit that script to use whatever version of Python you like to execute 'z2.py'. (I usually make it call a symbolic link that I can change to point at different Python executables without editing the script.)
Zope 2.6.x may or may not work well with Python 2.3.3. Zope 2.7 is the release that officially goes to Python 2.3 series. It has a slightly different scheme for starting, as I recall.

Is this true? Zope does use compiled c programs which must be linked to the correct Python version.
Oops. You're right. I guess I never actually switch versions that way.
Yes, one would also have to run the build script with the target Python, as well.
