the --without-doc-strings configure option for python 2.3.2 means: The interpreter can be compiled without any docstrings for the built-in functions and modules by supplying --without-doc-strings to the configure script. This makes the Python executable about 10% smaller, but will also mean that you can't get help for Python's built-ins. (Contributed by Gustavo Niemeyer.) (From http://www.python.org/doc/2.3/whatsnew/node20.html) Is there any known problems using a python interpreter compiled with way and zope 2.7.0-b3 (or any other version of zope for that matter)? -- Edward Muller - http://www.interlix.com - "Open Source Specialists" Dedicated Zope Hosting - Web Hosting - Open Source Consulting Network & PC Service & Support - Custom Programming Phone: 417-862-0573 - Cell: 417-844-2435 - Fax: 417-862-0572 Jabber: edwardam@jabber.interlix.com - AIM: edwardam453 - ICQ: 287033
