I can confirm this one. This seems to be related to the security fixes in recent versions of Zope 2.7.0. It simply throws up a login dialog.

Here's the text version of the traceback (unfortunately it does say '' in the source..):

Traceback (innermost last):
  Module ZPublisher.Publish, line 100, in publish

With a fresh, basic installation, using a downloaded Zope binary for windows, when i try to get an item in API reference of Zope API or Script (Python), i get the following error :
You are not allowed to access '' in this context.

When i try to get help from a Product's help folder (via Control Panel etc...),the content listing lists files with a .py extension.
When i click on a document, i always get the content of properties.
A View is not always available and when it's available, i get a login prompt, i can't get logged and if i hit cancel i receive the message indicated above.

Each time i get the message, i have two tracebacks, chronologically, the first one as Anonymous and the second one as authenticated user admin.

Here they are.
