I actually should use the Python 2.3.5 for an application server called 
  "Zope" and a Zope product that officially does not support the latest 
Zope version yet. The latest stable Zope version requires > Python 2.4.2 
so I'll installed Python 2.4.3. and I am trying to get it running.

Thanks for the tips.
