Obviously you have Python installed from an RPM. The RPM build does it's
business in a fake root (/var/tmp/python-root), and so this is the
filename that goes into the compiled product (MailMessage.pyc, in this
case).

My guess is your Zope was not started (or compiled) using Python 2.1, but
rather 1.5.x (x probably == 2). To solve this, rebuild Zope using the
correct version of Python. i.e. python2.1 wo_cgi.py or whatever.
