Just upgraded to Zope 2.7.3 from 2.7.2. 

Here's what I did:

Fedora Core 1 Linux
Python 2.2.3
Plone 2.0.4

Existing Zope instance is at /var/zope-instance

./zopectl stop

Backed up Data.fs

cd /var
gunzip Zope-2.7.3-0.gz
mv Zope-2.7.3-0 Zope-2.7.3-0.tar
tar -xvf Zope-2.7.3-0.tar
Zope-2.7.3-0 zope273
cd zope273
./configure --prefix=/var/zope273 --with-python=/usr/bin/python2.3
make
make install

Did not run: /var/zope273/bin/mkzopeinstance.py as I have a zope 
instance already.

Then manually edited:
/var/zope-instance/bin/runzope
/var/zope-instance/bin/runzope.bat
/var/zope-instance/bin/zopectl
/var/zope-instance/etc/zope.conf

to reflect the new /var/zope273 directory
 
Then restarted Zope

cd /var/zope-instance/bin
./zopectl start

And zope starts and runs.

Good luck (hopefully you won't need luck).
