Python 2.2 RPMs OK for Zope 2.5.x on RH 7.2?
My Zope experimenting has been done on Windows machines to date. I'd like to start using Python and Zope on my Linux boxes, but wondered if unlike Windows, I need to have an externally installed Python version synchronized with Zope's expected v2.1. Does anyone have any feedback on whether the Zope 2.5.x series will coexist nicely with the Python 2.2 RH7.2 RPMs at http://www.python.org/2.2/rpms.html ? I'd probably wait to use the Zope RPMs at TauPro when the 2.5.x version becomes available.
this is a FAQ by now... python 2.2 is *not* officially supported with any zope 2.x release. it will be once zope 3 comes out. use python 2.1.2 instead. jens On Wednesday, February 20, 2002, at 07:21 , Jeff Kowalczyk wrote:

The python2 rpm version 2.2-2 can quite happily coexist with the python2.1 rpm version 2.1.2-1 Python 2.1.2 is what you want for Zope 2.5.0 though. If you have both installed then /usr/bin/python2 /usr/lib/python2.2/ /usr/bin/python2.1 /usr/lib/python2.1/ ... ... will all exist without stepping on each other. You'll want to extract the Zope source tarball then compile using "python2.1 wo_pcgi.py" for example. You'll need python2.1-devel-2.1.2-1 and python2.1-2.1.2-1 installed. As far as Zope rpms go, I've been working on rolling some for 2.5.0 and it's turning out to be pain. The simplest working spec file I can come up with to generate simple Zope, Zope-zserver, and Zope-pcgi packages weighs in at ~500 lines and doesn't install without a --nodeps :( And I'm still chasing that bug....
