The problem is that the distribution-supplied Python has been configured
for a different set of tradeoffs (driving GUI sysadmin applets, mostly,
across multiple languages / character sets) than those appropriate for
powering long-running appserver.  In this, if nothing else, Zope
resembles a Java appserver:  they are typically supported only when
running a *specific* version of a *specific* JVM, which is highly
unlikely to be the JVM / version shipped by a given distro.
