zope 2.8.0 has a =python-2.3* dependency, but it compiles good with 2.4.1 too. i simply had to do a symlink to python2.3 -> python2.4 please add a >= Zope built. Next, do 'make install' (or 'make instance' to run a Zope instance directly from the build directory). :)
This is by purpose. This dependency does not downgrade your python. it simply installs python2.3* alongside with your 2.4 It was done because of this information from Zope corporation: System requirements when building from source bash or another Bourne shell variant Python 2.3.5 or later installed somewhere in the system PATH (Note: Python 2.4 is officially *not* supported because there has not been a security audit for Python 2.4 and Zope 2 so far. If you use Python 2.4 with Zope then you use it at your own risk from the security perspective). Anyway, thank You for Your contribution.
hi...they checked python 2.4 and they bumped: so now python 2.4 is ok to use (i'm using it with no problems) same for plone...

Thank You for reporting that it works ok for You, although we can not do it based on this. Official python for zope is still 2.3.* Also patch you've send is invalid, You can not change official information from Zope Corporation. Please do not reopen this bug. Thank You.
i won't reopen, but i didn't modify anything!!! check your self now: http://svn.zope.org/Zope/trunk/doc/INSTALL.txt?rev=39863&view=markup this is the lastest install.txt file. refered to zope >= 2.8.4 i don't paste things, but it says python 2.4.2 required. (last commit bumped from 2.4.1 to 2.4.2) why should i lie :(
we're on 2.8.4 not trunk http://svn.zope.org/Zope/tags/Zope-2-8-4/doc/INSTALL.txt?rev=39650&view=auto
