Hm, i've had a similar problem with ZA, though not involving python 
(except that it also affects my upload scripts in py =). When attempting 
to FTP upload stuff to my website, the return-handshakeing (or 
something) is treated by ZA as an alert-- i get an alert with my FTPs IP 
attached when I try to make contact. I think it may have something to do 
with PASV* mode FTP, but i'm not really sure. Anyway, i run without ZA 
often enough when I'm playing something like Unreal Tourny or Diablo 2 
or other things where I can often see every single preformace twitchup 
caused by anything on the system (i'm just too damn attuned to that sort 
of thing, so they piss me off easily), so i've never considered it a big 
deal to turn it off for a while -- I run it often enought that it should 
1. Prevent random cases, 2. Prevent 'repeat customers' if they do get 
in, 3. Prevent any backdoor type programs from operating properly. (I 
don't have hardly anything of any real importance on here -- only a few 
of my random recent doodles are unarchived.)
