So what do I do then to get Zope 2.7.1 to run with OS X python 2.3?

The configure script of Zope allows the specification of 
one optimal Python version only. Since we want enforce people
to perform unnecessary upgrades this will remain the 
recommended version for now. Python 2.3.4 is of course fine
but there is no reason to require Python 2.3.4 since 2.3.3
has no severe bugs and is working fine.

When I run Zope 2.7.1 after a problemless install I get an error indicating that Python 2.3 is not correct, but that 2.3.3 is 'optimal'. I didn't have this problem with 2.7.0.
The problem is that on OS X it is not easy to update the system provided python.
