Must be IDLE, as Python 1.52b2 actually _breaks_ Zope. For some reason Guido _decremented_ the version number of the Python thread API. ExtensionClass, one of the core C extension modules used by our stuff, checks to see if the version number is high enough and thus that it can work with the thread API. The final Zope 1.10 release, which I guess we'll do in the next few days, looks for this and compensates for it. It also adds folder import/export in the HTML GUI which is a pretty useful thing. --Paul
