Not at the moment, because the DC guys have not got the experience nor the 
resources to get it to work. But there might be hope.

I recently delivered a small Zope e-commerce app to a startup company 
called Oratrix (http://www.oratrix.com/; Their GRiNS for Smile editor can 
be bought using a Zope server). It is a spin-off from CWI, the institute 
where Guido van Rossum developed Python.

The two programmers that work there are both avid Python users. In fact, 
their product line is implemented in Python. One of them, Jack Jansen, is 
also the maintainer of MacPython. My recent introduction of Zope there has 
certainly drawn Jack's attention.

I'll be doing some more work for them next week. I'll definitely will ask 
Jack about the status of MacPython 1.5.2 (which is not yet there, but would 
be needed), and his thoughts on, let's be consistent, MacZope.
