Yes.  I was using ZopeHTTPServer with 1.9 and we switched to Apache 1.3.3 for
1.10.  We also
switched from using the Python that came with 1.9 to using our own download of
 Python 1.5.1

Jim, Could you provide some more details on this?  I did not install Python
and
am not sure what to do.

My initial questions are:
1) I have 1.5.1 of Python.  Do I need to get the 1.5.2 version?
OR..  Do I need to get a new version of cPickle?

2) I think we have the source for Python.  Where do we change the option for
cPickle to be dynamically linked or where do we
specify the option -DFORMAT_1_3.

Thanks for your help,
