[Zope] Python 2.2 RPMs OK for Zope 2.5.x on RH 7.2?

My Zope experimenting has been done on Windows machines to date. I'd like to start using Python and Zope on my Linux boxes, but wondered if unlike Windows, I need to have an externally installed Python version synchronized with Zope's expected v2.1. Does anyone have any feedback on whether the Zope 2.5.x series will coexist nicely with the Python 2.2 RH7.2 RPMs at http://www.python.org/2.2/rpms.html ? I'd probably wait to use the Zope RPMs at TauPro when the 2.5.x version becomes available.
