ZOPE 2.5 REQUIRES PYTHON 2.1.X! This version of Zope supports Python 2.2.1 and later versions.
Whether it requires this or also runs with Python 2.1.3 and Python
2.2 is up for debate at the moment.
Note: Using Python 2.2 is not recommended and not supported. See CHANGES.txt for important notes on this version of Zope.
