[Zope-dev] Upgrading to python 2.1.2 and Zope 2.5b4

[Chris McDonough]

Hi Tony,

The combination of Zope 2.4.4 and Python 2.1.2 will be the "right" 
combination.  If you can't wait for Zope 2.4, you can use Zope 2.5 
(which I believe already has the requisite fixes), although of course 
it's still in beta.

I think you'll need to recompile your extensions -- I'm not sure that 
it's strictly necessary but it is at least the safest thing to do.  This 
presumes at least running "python wo_pcgi.py" against your software home 
and re-"Make"-ing your 3rd part extenions with the new Python.h, etc.
