[Zope] dollars-and-cents display fails

[Greg Fischer]

Thanks Andy.  I do have those versions.  But Python is 2.3.5 because I
didnt want to move to 2.4.x as I think I read something in the README
for Zope stating it was not tested for compatibility. (right?)  I
guess my thought is... Does 2.3.5 have the same issue as 2.4 regarding
the decimals?  For now, I am just going to setup 2.3.4 and run with
it.

I am assuming that you are the same adustman on the mysql-python
project?  Nice job on that, very cool stuff!
