check if it has threads

try:
import threading
except:
print "this won't work"
import sys;sys.exit()
print "you can use this python"


if not normally a python install is as simple as

./configure --with-threads
make
su
make install

you might need to switch your path if you've got both pythons on your
system as most 
will put /usr/bin before /usr/local/bin

you can check which one your using with:: which python

to fix it in bash :: export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

IIRC there used to be subtle bugs, like batch processing in DTML giving
wrong page numbers

Can use either depending on whether you install the source or binary
distribution... actually dunno if there is a binary distribution for
*nix.

If it's Python 1.5.2, then yes... there's probably instructiosn for this
on Zope.org near the bits about insatlling Zope from source on Linux.
