Similarely if you use Zope 2.5.x, you need to use Python 2.1.3, because that python contains bugfixes that specifically affects Zope's stability. Zope 2.5.x and 2.4.x will not work with python 2.2x either, due to incompatibilities with python 2.2. Also, if you are using python 2.1.3, you probably want to install it from source, and configure it by passing the --without-pymalloc directive to the configure script. I cannot really remember why this is necessary, but I have some faint memory of some incompatibility between the newer optimised memory management thingie in python 2 and zope... or something like that :-) hth /dario - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Lopez-Kästen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] IT Systems & Services System Developer/System Administrator Chalmers University of Tech. _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
