Yes. Zope needs thread support to run. You can download the binary release
of Zope for Solaris from the website and use that. The binary release has
its *own* copy of Python bundled with it. Alternatively, you can compile up
your own *version 1.5.2* of Python under Solaris and use that globally
through your system.

People have said that Zope works with Python 2.0 - but I'd wait until the DC
troops say it's ok if I were you. I'd also advise not trying with Python
1.6.
