Zope builds happily on a stock python 1.5.2 and the cvs versions of 2.0 too.
Huh? I was under the impression that building python C extensions needs some stuff from the source dist. But I might be wrong here.
From my unix viewpoint, I assumed that "stock 1.5.2" *was* the source dist <grin>. Seriously, though, I believe Python 1.5.2 builds on Windows, so you shouldn't have a problem. And yes, building the Zope C extensions requires at least a "devopers" installation of Python, which usually means the source dist. (I *think* that the stuff that is needed is actually a fairly limited number of files, at least if you are using loadable modules, so it might in fact be true that the stock Python Windows install includes the necessary files.)
