Will this change the need or procedure for the MySQL database adapter and driver?

Hey Raymond...

You might want to simply download the new standalone zope...

It comes with a precompiled 2. python, so you don't need to mess with all your RPMS...

I have a new zope 2.4 running great with Mysqlda and mysql-python.

I want to remove python 1.5.2 .rpm, and install 2.1, but it shows all kinds of depedencys. Is there a way to do this without breaking everything?

This probably indicates that you are using Python 1.5.2, which does not come with distutils. You can get it from the Python site at www.python.org (well, at least it will get you to it).

BUT, you want to use the same version of Python that your Zope installation uses. Before version 2.3.4, it used Python 1.5.2. Version 2.4.x uses Python 2.1, and I think 2.5.x does also (but better check this to make sure it isn't up to Python 2.2). The versions of Python above 1.5.2 come with distutils so you won't have to get it yourself.

I am very new, and just trying to set up the ZMySQLDA adapter and MySQL-python driver. As per the instructions I am trying to compile the drivers. I entered "python setup.py build" I get the following error:

trackback (intermost last): File "setup.py", line 6, in ? from distutils.core import setup ImportError: No Module named distutils.core.

Any help so I can move ahaead would be greatly appreciated
