If you don't want to keep 2.0, I recommend uninstalling it first
(if you're on windows;  windows has a habit of not cleaning up).

Zope requires python 2.1.3.  Unfortunately it doesn't work with 2.2
(AFAIK).  The next major release will use a newer version of python
(2.2 or more likely 2.3).

Sure, just copy the modules/packages to your site-packages directory.
The version in zope is somewhere in between the gadfly releases.  The
last release I saw was really old (python 1.5.2) and didn't gave
warnings on some newer pythons and didn't work on others.  The zope
people patched it up some so that it would behave on the version of
python that zope works with.  Now the gadfly creator is back in
business updating it, and I suppose a new version is available which
is what you found.

In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have
told you.  I am going there to prepare a place for you.  And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come and take you to be with me that you
also may be where I am.
