If you downloaded a prebuilt archive, then please check whether
the Python version you are using with Zope matches the archive
you've downloaded.

The above line should not print and the setup.py should not
try to build anything if you are using the correct prebuilt
archive.

These combinations are possible for Python on Linux:

 * UCS2 vs. UCS4
 * 32-bit vs. 64-bit

If you're not using a prebuilt archive, please check your Python
installation, since these lines suggests that something is
wrong with it:

pyconfig.h should always be available.
