Zope relies on a lot of code in C as well as Python, so I doubt you'll see
Zope on JPython anytime soon.

However, ZPublisher (Zope's ORB) could be made to work with JPython without
too much trouble. In fact a while ago I tried this and succeeded, though it
was quite slow. The main issue is that ZPublisher uses 'regex' while
JPython uses 're'.
