Zope 2.6.2 is only "supported" on Python 2.1.3;  however, I know of 
heavy production use that it works well with 2.2.3;  the tests all pass 
with 2.3.3.  I wouldn't recommend using any of the .0, .1, or .2 
releases (oddly enough, the .3 releases all fix segfault bugs which only 
Zope seems to trigger).

   *Don't* use the Python supplied by your OS / distribution for anything
   other than toy / eval use;  the vendor may either configure the Python
   inappropriately, or may force an unwanted "upgrade" on you and break
   your site.

   The trick is to *always* build a custom Python for your Zope server;
   that lets you control which packages are installed into it, and how
   they are built, independent of the "stock" Python.
