This is an interesting question.

Would it be possible to make changes in zope.security itself so that 
there's is a "do-nothing" Python version available when you install it 
on GAE?

zope.security is a bit like middleware in that much of your app will 
continue to work if you don't use it. We could simply recognize this in 
zope.security and have a mode for it so it doesn't actually create 
security proxies.
