RHEL (and thus CentOS) depends heavily upon Python for lots of apps,
utilities etc.; as such, i'd recommend against altering the system
Python. i haven't done what you are trying to do, but i did end up
installing another Python on a CentOS 3 machine in order to get
DenyHosts working (it needs at least Python 2.4) in /usr/local/python24.
on the other hand, the indefatigable Karanbir seems to have built
RPMS of Zope 2.8.0 and Plone 2.1.2; they're available from his
repository:
http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/i386/RPMS/index.html
will those work for you?
