It's the right answer, too.  No "security audit" has been done against
Python 2.4 for Zope use yet, and Zope Corp won't officially bless 2.4
for use with Zope until that's been done.

Note that the story is different for ZODB:  Python 2.4+ is officially
blessed for "standalone" ZODB use.  This is one advantage of keeping
DTML out of the storage layer <wink>.
