With ActivePython you don't get the python-*-dynload-global patch
applied.  I think you would have to build your own python to get this
working.  Using ActivePerl should be ok, as it has all required
patches pre-applied.  I'll check with our ActivePython guys to see if
there are ways to sneak this patch into their builds in the future.  I
actually hope to get the 'pyperl' stuff included in
ActivePerl/ActivePython so you actually don't have to build anything.

Also note that the Zope-2.2.2 README says that 'Zope requires Python
1.5.2'.  Does anybody know what actually fails with Python-2.0?

Hopefully not :-(
