That's not entirely true of Zope 2, and not true at all for Zope 3.  All 
code for Zope 3 is loaded from the file system.  I've been happily 
hacking away on Z3 for months using Vim, Subversion, grep, etc.  Some 
have even been know to use Emacs, the horror! :)

Zope 3 was designed from the ground-up to be friendlier to Python 
programmers that don't have a great deal of Zope 2 experience.  Being a 
long-time Python programmer, I've *really* enjoyed Zope 3.

There is a slide show introduction at 
http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/ProgrammerTutorial 
(http://tinyurl.com/68qwj).

There are two Zope 3 books out.  A draft of one is available at 
http://www.zope.org/DevHome/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/ComponentArchitecture/FrontPage/Zope3Book 
(http://tinyurl.com/5nj66).

Also note that Z3 comes with many doctests that help developers 
understand the various parts of the system.
