Buildout isolates your grok project from the system python packages.
The ZODB package should be available using `bin/python-console` inside
your grokproject.

You can access the database using the `bin/interactive_debugger`
script. The database will already be opened for you.

You can to this by defining a different version in the buildout.cfg of
your grok project:

[versions]
ZODB3 = 3.10.x
