if there is a python binary anywhere underneath the zope directory then you 
most likely have a binary distribution, which presents problems for newbies 
trying to install additional python modules.

zope 2.3.x runs on python 1.5.2. you will have to get the python-ldap 
1.10alpha3 source and build it i suppose.
