Zope uses dynamically loaded shared objects for C extensions.

Try to use your installed Python. If it has thread support,
you have a good chance that it will work.
If it does not work, you will be told in a clear way.

Maybe, stripping the Zope distributed Python will reduce its size.
Make a copy before stripping. It may be possible that symbols
essential for dynamic linking are stripped, too.
