Make sure you redirect stdout and stderr if you're running from, 
e.g. /etc/rc.d

python z2.py > var/zope.stdout 2> var/zope.stderr

Otherwise, on some systems, you will get a bomb either
a) as soon as you write to stdout
b) as soon as you fill whatever your stdio buffer size is, and
it tries to flush.
