[Zope] Can I choose my python installation?

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

Your platform makes this hard, as Zope has modules written in C that =
need to
be compiled against the specific version of Python you are using.  Ho=
wever,
if you are using Python 2.1.3 in both cases, it may work without a
recompile.  Usually in this case, the worst thing that could happen i=
s a
warning that the Python C Module API versions mismatch.

Even if this does work, I'm not sure what the mechanics of doing this=
 on
Windows are (I suppose this may be difficult and tedious, and require=
 you to
know what you are doing).

If you have Visual C++, you might just want to compile Zope from sour=
ce
against the Python version you installed.

Hi,

If I have python installed on my PC, can I use that installation inst=
ead of
that installed with Zope?  The reason is that I am having trouble ins=
talling
the win32 library for python on the Zope python instance.  It fails t=
o load
pywise32.dll(?).  I'm using a Win98 machine.

TIA,

Miche=E1l
