[Zope] Re: How to upgrade Python in older Zope?

[Josef Meile]

Hi,

You could try to install an oficial python 2.1.x release from
python.org, then change the python's path in the runzope.bat
script. I work mostly with zope under linux, so, I haven't
tested this, but perhaps it works.

Another problem you may face is that perhaps the official
python binary may also don't have large file support. On that
case, you will have either to search if somebody provides one
with LFS, build your own python (and zope probaby) from sources,
or as somebody said, use a newer zope binary release, which will
require you to upgrate your Data.fs.

Best regards
Josef
