As far as everything goes, I use Debian at home and RedHat at work. On both, I just compiled python from source and put it in /usr/local/. That way, I keep the 1.5.2 install and set my paths accordingly. As some on the list remember, I was at one point using HP/UX. I do not recommend it (or IRIX for that matter). The hardware is pretty cool, but even convincing python to compile on those platforms was a good challenge. Troy

I am a newbie, but I have got this problems with zope, related to the dependencies:
- latest source distibution requires python 2.1 (which is very recent, and no all Linux distribs have it)... - It is not possible to compile extensions with zope binary distributions, because it lacks some headers. Many products requires compiling extensions, so that readdress me to point 1. Couldn't this be solutioned in next zope distribs ?
So in general it is following the foolish of this last year in the Open Software, all is mooving tooooo quicklyyyyyy :-O
In this conditions, slackware's old way packaging system (tar.gz) seems the better..... :-)

I can upgrade without having to upgrade anything. I would like to have your opinion about (all oriented to Zope):
One of the nice things about Zope is that it doesn't have any dependencies outside the standard libraries. I've never had any problems compiling it on any platform. It's also very self-contained; apart from some little things like start and stop scripts, there's little a distribution package will offer you over a source install, IMO.
