how else is an application supposed to state that it needs a specific Python version? > A lot of Python software runs with different Python versions and if > there are differences the application is buggy and should get fixed. *LOL* You might want to look into "fixing" Zope that way. Good luck, and I guess that some fame will come your way, should you succeed. However, I agree that it's generally desirable to be able to run applications on "any" Python version, but, as with probably all other bigger systems (Java, ...), it is just not realistic to say "If app X doesn't run with all environments Y, then the app is broken", simply because no-one will be inclined, or even able, to "fix" it, usually for marginal benefit.
