Nope, because nobody else has reported this. What are the odds that
you're the only one who has used the tarball? I don't know, but
they're not high <wink>.
I don't know how the tarball was built originally, but I built the
Windows installers _from_ the tarball and had no problems. I imagine
it was built with GNU tar, and that has a history of creating problems
(due to GNU extensions) for other tar implementations. Did you use
GNU tar to unpack it? If not, try that. Or perhaps you got a corrupt
download (did you check the MD5 against the one listed?).
As a check, I just downloaded the tarball fresh from
http://www.zope.org/Products/Zope3/3.1.0b1
to a Linux box, and used its tar to unpack it:
$ tar --version
tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25
....
$ tar xvzf Zope-3.1.0b1.tgz
... [lots of output] ...
$ find Zope-3.1.0b1 -name "*.py" | wc -l
2429
$ find Zope-3.1.0b1 -name "*.p"
$
That is, there are no .p files. You didn't give enough info about the
other badly named files for me to check, but I doubt I'd find any
other damage here either. I went on to do ./configure, make, and
`make check` without problems:
$ make check
/usr/local/bin/python install.py -q build
/usr/local/bin/python test.py -v
