Re: Broken Zope, Python, xbase-clients, etc

[Russ Cook <russcook@flash.net>]

Hi Russell,
  From your email, should I assume that Zope requires a version of Python
between 2.1-3 and 2.2?  A listing of /usr/lib shows python1.5, python2.0,
python2.1, python2.2, and python2.3.  Must I downgrade and force the
system to install python2.1 for the Zope scripts to work?
