Our web designer just *loves* it (and ZopePageTemplates too, since they 
work quite ok with it's favorite html editor...). Might not be useful to 
you, but...

Zope is a great product, but hard to get into, and it's sometime just 
too big and fat for some simple things. So while it may be worth giving 
it a try, I would not recommend it for all and any project.

Now when it comes to session management and the like, there are many 
other libs/frameworks/etc based on mod_python.

This might be a good start :
