Installing zmysqlda crashes the zope instance because it needs mysql-python compiled to the same python version that zope is using. But gentoo forces zope to use python-2.3 while mysql-python is using python-2.4. The solution proposed on the thread did not work on my system. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
as mentioned in the forums thread, currently the only viable solution is to manually install package for python2.3: "ie: download package, untar etc, and do python2.3 setup.py or install.py" unfrotunately full solution probably want be done (at least, zope corp, will faster approve python2.4 usage).
today, I introduced zope-2.9.0 into portage which directly uses python2.4 So this will not be fixed for older version.
