If you go through the effort of looking into python and zope reserved words, 
do yourself an enormous favor, and also do a little googling on naming 
conventions for those languages (regarding caps, underscores, etc.), as well.  

You can use 'legal' variable names that will be _very_ confusing six months or 
a year from now.  If you're at the early stages, then adopting naming 
standards which are in common use, will make code matainance easier, and will 
make understanding other well formulated code, that much easier to 
understand.
