[Zope-dev] compiling Zope 2.4.1 on Mac OS 10.1

[Itai Tavor]

Has anyone managed to do this procedure with Python 2.0? The 
-flat_namespace flag does not help and I'm still getting 
twolevel_namespace errors. I'm running Zope 2.3.2 and I'd like to 
avoid the startup warnings, as well as any possible incompatibilities 
with Python 2.1/2.2.
