I had the same problem. Downgrading Python to 2.1 broke packages that were
built against Python 2.2. I'd have put up with this -- I'm more interested
in Zope than I am in some of the other Pythone related software -- but I
can't even get it to work right. In the end I just ended up removing Zope
for now, bringing Python back to 2.2, and the breakages all went away.
(Except, of course, that I don't have Fink's Zope installed any more...)

Yes, this is the error I was getting with Zope too. Spent half an hour or
so trying to figure it out before giving up & removing Zope & restoring
Python to 2.2.

As interested as I am in Zope, I don't think I'll try it again until
either [a] it can work against Python 2.2 (preferred solution), or [b] a
way is found to have multiple versions of Python present. Actually, I was
hoping that would be pretty easy -- I installed a different version of
Zope last week, and it included a copy of Python with it. I was hoping I
could just change the #!/ lines to point to the other, good version, but
apparently the problem is much more subtle than that, as this change
didn't end up helping anything at all. *shrug*
