[Zope] how to configure Zope to use Python 2.3.3

[Rod Thorburn]

Thanks to all who replied. My 'work around' was to install Zope 2.7.0, which
comes bundled with Python 2.3.3 . Strangely, I couldn't find any reference
to the Python version used by Zope 2.7.0 on zope.org. I only discovered this
after installing.
