As impossible as it seems, my Zope 2-3-1 had the temerity to say this

 SyntaxError: invalid syntax
I've seen def initialize(context): done for several different Zope products.  
Does my instance of Zope just not like me?  Someone please tell me that I'm not 
crazy.
You are (probably) not crazy!
Sometimes, Zope betrays you...

  It shows you an old traceback in the Product folder.

  I have been hit by this, too, and chased the apparent problem
  for several hours...

  The solution:

    activate Zope logging mechanism by providing a parameter
    "STUPID_LOG_FILE=yourlog" to "z2.py".

    Restart Zope and look into "yourlog".
    It should tell you the real problem.

    Once this real problem is solved, the old traceback will
    disappear...
