Sorry about the delay, I was out of town for a while.
Perhaps you have managed to work it, but this is how I've set it up:

- Using Opera:
Go to File | Preferences | File Types, press New, and enter:
         Mime ContentType: application/x-zope-edit
         Action: Open with another app: /path_to_python/python 
/path_to_zopeedit/zopeedit-win32.py

- Using IE:
Open My Computer, go to View, Folder Options, tab File Types, press New Type.
Description: Zope External Edit
Extension: . (just a dot)
ContentType (MIME): application/x-zope-edit
Press New:
         Action: &Open
         App: /path_to_python/python.exe /path_to_zopeedit/zopeedit-win32.py
         OK
Uncheck 'Confirm open after download'
