I just looked at Zope and Zope3 on Friday.  It looks like Zope-3.1 is
out (as a stable product) and it works fine with python-2.4.1. From the
ANNOUNCEMENT.txt file:

  Zope 3.1 requires Python 2.3.5 or 2.4.1 to run. You must also have
zlib
  installed on your system.

My understanding is that Zope2 has to have security audits of the python
versions it can run on before they release so Zope2 is going to continue
to lag behind a bit on what python version can be used.
