Apparently, Python does not find its infrastructure.

I see 2 potential causes:

 1. There is no valid "python2.0" in "/usr/local/lib"

 2. Python 2.0 no longer looks for its infrastructure
    via PYTHONHOME *and* the default place.

Check 1.
If "python2.0" is there (and correct), it may help
to install a symbolic link from "<zope>/lib/python2.0" to
"/usr/local/lib/python2.0".
