When installing from the source, Python does offer a "make altinstall" which is terrific for installing a newer or older version of Python alongside an existing installation. For example, Fedore Core 4 comes with Python 2.4 and as far as I can tell, doing a "make altinstall" with the 2.3.5 tarball puts it alongside 2.4 quite nicely. At any rate, I've had no problems compiling, installing and running Zope 2.7.6 and 2.8 with it. HTH
I will certainly give it a try. Many thanks. Tony

Removing python-2.4 from the system is not an option. Too many thinks link in to it.
No need to remove anything. Just build python 2.3 and install it in /usr/local (the default).
Then build zope from source like so:
./configure --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python2.3 --prefix=... make make install
Does that not work? I don't see why this is any different from the usual case of the distro-provided python or zope being too old.
