I followed Jens Vagelpohl's directions for installing Python 2.3.4 into /usr/local followed by Zope 2.7.0 into /opt/Zope-2.7. Both installations completed successfully through their make installs. However when executing: /opt/Zope-2.7/bin/mkzopeinstance.py it fails with a MacOS.Error: (-1713, 'no user interaction is allowed'). 

Darwin::dekiefer:10-> /opt/Zope-2.7/bin/mkzopeinstance.py

Zope "instance home" files such as database files, configuration
files, etc.
