[Zope3-dev] Python version for Zope 3

The Zope 3 wiki indicates that we should be able to use Python 2.2,
not necessarily 2.2.1, to run Zope 3:

http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/SettingUpAZope3Sandbox

The tests do not currently pass because the code uses True and False,
which were added to ease support Python 2.3 code on Python 2.2.x, but
"x" needs to be at least 1.

Does the wiki page need to be updated, or should we change the code to
not require True and False to be defined as builtins?  (Another option
would be to modify the __builtin__ module on startup, but that's ugly
in other ways.)
