This is not the correct list for this question, but then again I think you
know that quite well ;-)

Zope requires 2.1, this includes Zope 2.6. The first Python2.2 version is
scheduled to be 2.7.

I don't have OSX, but I heard about some difficulties. My coworker however
successfully compiled 2.1.3 (from the source release, not CVS) and Z2.6 from
CVS and reports it to work without a problem. He recommends latest gcc3.
