How about: Zope is a powerful, easy to learn and use development environment that facilitates the creation of dynamic web sites using a portable, and extremely flexible, custom scripting language and which supports modular "plugins", written in Python, for additional custom enhancements.

How's that for a sentence? :) Perhaps Michel should have defined more precisily what kind of sentence he wants, because I've seen sentences that don't fit on a page A4 ;) (with a normal font size)

And this huge sentences are not necessarily easy to read and understand, as the human brain doesn't process to many sub sentences to well.
