Well, try and easy_install i18ndude, and see all your Zope2 instances explode. :-) Even if the system python is nice, as on Ubuntu, you may end up in the situation where you need different versions of modules for the Zope pythons and the system pythons. And although it's fixable after the fact, remeber, you wont see the problem until you restart the zope, and then you forgot what you did, and don't understand suddenly why nothing works. And in worse case, you might after a server restart notice that all of your Zope instances suddenly do not work. And it takes a couple of hours to figure out why and fix it. Downtime you don't want. > Its just so damn convenient if you have to maintain a few dozen VServers to > manage the Pythons including add-on libraries exclusively via "apt-get" Yeah, I haven't found a good solution for that yet. I those libraries should be available as eggs, that solves it.
