[Zope] Love Zope but want to avoid Python

my opinion,

have a go at Python, it's the easiest language I've ever come across. I 
had to use Zope on a project, as I needed an open source application 
server, and there isn't really a decent one in Perl, the language I knew.
I managed to start using Zope with Python, with hardly any overhead of 
picking up python. It's more similar to Java than Perl, and if you are 
already a programmer, it really shouldn't be a problem.

It would be worth installing the ExternalEditor product, and the helper 
app for your PC, so you automatically edit with something like gvim, 
which will manage the indentation for you, and do syntax highlighting.
