This is true.  Comments are only allowed at the beginning of a line.  I have added a comment to the default config file to this effect.

I thought using a comment was allowed in the zope-config, but the lines:

<pre>
&lt;http-server&gt;
  # valid keys are "address" and "force-connection-close"
  address 8270 # default 8080
  # force-connection-close on
&lt;/http-server&gt;
</pre>

in my etc/zope.conf

gave the following traceback:

<pre>

Solution:

- strip of everything after a #-sign in the config paramters, to make zconfig behaviour similar to python behaviour

- maybe document it in zconfig-docs that this is not allowed
