[Pythonmac-SIG] MacPython 2.3.3 - Zope 2.70?

I'm trying to experiment with Zope 2.70 and MacPython 2.3.3. Since this
version of Zope requires at least Python 2.3.2, this MacPython distro looked
like a good opportunity to try it.

The MacPython install seems OK and I have Zope pointed at MacPython. When I
start Zope, I get this traceback:

zopectl> start
Traceback (most recent call last):

    wpid, sts = waitpid(pid, 0)
OSError: [Errno 10] No child processes

The file paths are correct, but it appears that there was a problem getting
child processes going (there were no errors specifically related to this).
Zope requires threading compiled in and requires libpthread and not libpth.
Does MacPython include threading?
