- * You should be using Python 2.1 to run the build scripts.
+ * You should be using Python 2.2.1 or later to run the build scripts.
* The python you run Zope with *must* have threads compiled in,
- which is *not* the case for a vanilla build. When you build the
- python you'll use, 'configure --with-threads' does the right thing.
- Warning: Zope will not run with a Python version that uses libpth.
- You *must* use libpthread.
