"Stability or goodies, pick one".  If you can't upgrade to a newer
Python / Zope, you can't use the ZTK, which *cannot* be constrained by
backwared compatiblity with pre-2.12 Zope versions:  those versions are
stuck with using the Zope 3.3 / 3.4 trees on which they were originally
based, just as they are stuck with Python 2.4.
