Python is a programming language with some libraries not a framework. The big 
challenge of a framework is to be pluggable. So Zope 3 is ultra-pluggable. 
The downside that arises is that you cannot document a set of features in a 
straight-forward manner. And again, you cannot expect to understand a 
framework from API documentation. This is even true for Python; if you want 
to understand on what's really going on, you have to read some real 
documentation.
