I can understand this, but from a practical POV, ZPT are mainly (x)html 
templates. A valid (x)html page is a valid ZPT too. This has nothing in 
common with the hundreds of complicated XML conf files needed by most 
J2EE app servers.

I've never worked with any of them, so I can't tell. It's also true that 
most of what I've done with Zope so far relies mostly on the ZODB, RDBMS 
  connections being merely used as a bridge to share data with other 
systems. Still, I didn't have any problem with Zope/RDBMS integration so 
far.

A nice language, but yes, there can be practical reasons to stick with 
Python.
