[Zope] Re: Newbie: trouble getting started under Windows 98

[Robert Wentworth]

FWIW, after messing around for several hours trying to diagnose
this, the problem mysteriously went away.

(I uninstalled another version of Python and its extensions,
reinstalled them, ran Zope inside Pdb -- and things started
working.  Got out of Pdb, restarted, and things continued
to work.  No clue as to  why things were consistently hanging
before.)
