Heh, I wouldn't start about this platform thingy if I were you =)

I don't know anything about Win2k, but I did see something on the DC
support list about certain types of VPN software interfering. Both
PGPNet and Connect for Windows, caused a similar problem (python.exe
Application Error), which disappeared after removing them.

Maybe some software component on your server is interfering with Python?
Try a clean, minimal install of Win2k.

Other than that, you could try the python mailinglist, as it doesn't
sound like something particular to Zope. And ActiveState
(http://www.activestate.com/) supports python on Win32, and Mark Hammond
works there now. Maybe they can help as well (for a fee I imagine).
