Read the docs. It requires 2.1.2 and nothing else.
I read the docs but just had to confirm that Zope requires 2.1.2 and will work with nothing else. That seems mighty strange. Imagine BEA saying that Weblogic will work with Java1.2 but not Java1.3

Zope 2.5.0 requires python = 2.1.2

Yes, you do. I don't know why this should be the case, but zope 2.5.x *requires* python 2.1.2 apparently. Bill's response seems to indicate that this version dependency might not be the cause of the error that you are seeing, but if I were you, I'd just install 2.1.2 and save yourself a lot of trouble :-).
Thanks for the advice. Faced with installing a *third* version of Python on my machine though, I opted for the following ~

Install the Zope-2.5.0-linux2-x86.tgz or latest. Just untar it, start it, connect and you are en-route.
This version of Zope already has the needed Python 2.2 installed and Zope does a fine job of finding and executing the local Python 2.2.
I run RH 7.2 and I have installed Zope 2.5.0 in an oddball disk area that has no path. Zope uses it's own copy of Python.
In short: all by itself the tar file seems to be a pretty complete package
Thanks. I had looked at the "install" script for the binary and feared that it would use my environmental python (python1.5.2) but you're right, I just ran ./install and then ./start and it seems to be working OK. Of course, I haven't tried creating any apps with it yet so it's too early to tell whether some packages have been broken but at least it's officially installed and running. Thanks.
