Where did you get the python you are using on HP-UX from? Did you
build it yourself? I believe you also said you were using python
2.3.<something>. Does Zope 3 require python 2.4?

Also, how current is your system on HP-UX quality pack bundles? You
said you are running 11.0, which while supported, is a bit long in the
tooth.
