[Zope] Fedora, Python 2.2.3, Zope 2.7, and Plone 2

[Anthony Baxter]

>>>Hello. I am setting up a new server for a client, who is asking for 
>>>Redhat Fedora Core 1.  The applications will be Zope 2.7 and Plone 2 
>>>based.
>>>
>>>The Fedora Core 1 package list states Python 2.2.3 is part of the 
>>>distro.
>>>
>>>My understanding is that Zope 2.7, Plone 2, and Python 2.2.3 play 
>>>well together. Is the correct?  Are there issues I should be aware 
>>>of?
>>
>>I believe Zope 2.7 requires Python 2.3.3.  You can get Python 2.3.3
>>RPMS for Fedora from http://www.python.org/2.3.3/rpms.html.  These
>>install "alongside" the existing Python 2.2 without disturbing it. 
>>Then you just have to tell Zope to use /usr/bin/python2.3 rather than
>>/usr/bin/python.

Note also that Fedora Core 2 (currently at -test1, release in April)
includes Python 2.3.3.
