Python 2.1.x where x < 3 is known to cause major stability issues for
Zope;  I would strongly recommend upgrading to 2.1.3.  Python 2.2.1 is
in the "it works, but is not supported" category for Zope 2.x, where x <
7.  Zope 2.7 will require Python 2.2.1, and may even be out before Zope
2.6 :).

If your ISP allows you to run Zope (which I presume they do, or you
would fire them) then they shouldn't object to running it on the "known
good" version of Python.  You could even build your own Python and run
Zope with that, if they don't want to upgrade '/usr/bin/python'::

 $ pwd
 /home/tseaver
 $ cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.python.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/python\
      co -r r231 -d Python-2.1.3-src python/dist/src
 ....
 $ cd Python-2.1.3-src
 $ export CC='gcc -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64'#linuxism
 $ ./configure --with-thread --prefix=/home/tseaver
 ....
 $ make
 ....
 $ make install # -> /home/tseaver/bin/python, etc.
 ....
 $ cd ..
 $ rm -r Python-2.1.3-src
 
Tres.
