If you're talking about this Python 3000:

... no, it probably won't be compatible.  ;-)  (This is what I got from
the Google search engine!)

The Linuxtoday article I found says that Guido intends to provide
migration tools, etc.  To me it seems very likely Digital Creations
will migrate Zope to the best and fastest version of the Python
language, and if that's Python 3000 (which we can't expect to see for a
long time), that's what DC will do.
