I would do this in small steps, e.g. first migrate to the new machine / OS: - - Get Python 2.3.x installed on the OS/X server. - - Build the latest Zope 2.8.* on that server. - - Install and test products there in the same versions you now use. - - Copy your old database over and test. then upgrade the software stack: - - Move carefully through the Zope releases (I would to 2.9, 2.10, and' 2.12), upgrading Python as needed to stay on a supported version. - - Check for upgrades to the products, and their compatibility with Zope versions. Test them, and your site. after each upgrade.
