Speaking as someone who used to write Zope 2 apps, allow me to say no. Hell, no. Zope < 3.0 was a convoluted mess of two over-engineered applications named Bobo and Principia that were hacked together. That's why the API had functions names like: bobobase_modification_time principia_is_folderish That's why Zope 3 was rewritten from scratch. Zope 3 has a sane, albeit complex, architecture. Regretably it came too late into the game and by the time it was ready, every Python web developer had moved to turbogears or something else. The only interesting piece of technology from Zope was the ZODB. I wish it had developed as a separate product.
