[Zope] Trouble getting Zope 2.8/Python 2.3 to work in OS X 10.6

Thu Jan 6 14:10:39 EST 2011

As luck would have it, I found Zope 2.8 in Macports. Ran  
mkzopeinstance without trouble, but starting up zopectl yields:

Does this make sense to anyone? Has anyone had any luck with Macports  
(using zope) under os x 10.6 (Snow Leopard?)

Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.
