btw, i forgot all about it: this is mainly the Zope-Database (ZODB) 
which is independent from Zope and has quite some parts written 
in C, for performance reasons ASFAIK.  I'd say they are
applying a common technique with high-level-languages:
rapidly prototype in Python and reimplement the 
speed-relevant parts in C (and maintain it).  
It's rather obvious how PyPy could help here :-)
