RHEL (and thus CentOS) depends heavily upon Python for lots of apps, utilities etc.; as such, i'd recommend against altering the system Python.
OK, I'll just go for a parallel installation then.
i haven't done what you are trying to do, but i did end up installing another Python on a CentOS 3 machine in order to get DenyHosts working (it needs at least Python 2.4) in /usr/local/python24.
I'll give that a shot with 2.4.3 then, and see if I can get Zope running on top of it.
on the other hand, the indefatigable Karanbir seems to have built RPMS of Zope 2.8.0 and Plone 2.1.2; they're available from his repository:
http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/index.html
will those work for you?
I'll be maintaining my own Zope and Plone installations, and I want to use the current versions.
Thanks for your response. I'll try to setup a parallel installation and come back if I hit any bumps.
