FWIW, I think this particular pile of libraries is in fact best 
described by the name "framework", because the code we're discussing 
often calls user code rather than the other way around.  For example, 
looking up and using an adapter is deep in framework territory.

The name framework has earned a bad name just because there are so many 
bad frameworks out there, but there are plenty of good ones too.  Good 
frameworks use library-like patterns where possible, falling back to 
carefully designed framework-like patterns.  Zope Framework will be one 
of the best frameworks.
