Get the Darwin Python build from
http://tony.lownds.com/macosx/MacOSX-Darwin-Python2.0.tgz
It's *twice* as fast as the python I built myself and has some libraries
built-in (zlib, readline)
Ie
% cd /usr/local
% sudo wget http://tony.lownds.com/macosx/MacOSX-Darwin-Python2.0.tgz
% sudo tar zxf MacOSX-Darwin-Python2.0.tgz
% cd 
% python
[GCC Apple DevKit-based CPP 5.0] on Darwin1.2
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 

% cd Zope
% python wo_pcgi.py
% ./start

Bobs your uncle and Fannys your aunt.

Worked for me (now, if I could MySQL installed I would be a seriously happy
bunny - not the easter reference)
