Yes - 2.3 contains some changes (thanks mostly to Toby Dickenson)
that let it build and run w/o patches under Python 2. Python 2
is still not "officially supported", in that you are on your
own if you run into problems that are Python 2-specific and
2.3 doesn't make use of any 2.0 features (unicode, etc.)

I expect Zope 2.4 to be mainly about moving offically to Python
2 (2.4 will likely require Python 2) and integrating unicode,
etc.
