Which operating system?  Since you mention "the registry", I assume it's
some flavor of Windows.  If that's the case, the only way to use ZODB with
Python 2.3 is to compile ZODB's C extensions from source with Python 2.3 --
extensions compiled for one minor release of Python on Windows cannot be
used with any other minor release ("minor release" == the second digit, so,
e.g., 2.2.2 and 2.2.3 are the same minor release, but 2.2.i and 2.3 are
different minor releases).

Zope Corp doesn't yet officially support running with Python 2.3, so for now
doesn't ship any Zope2 or ZODB3 packages compiled for use with Python 2.3 on
Windows.
