I disagree.
Zope is very different from the others in this respect.
Python is such a big part of Zope. You could almost say: "a bunch or
prepared classes and libraries written in Python, and it even has a HTML end
to it. The collection of these frameworks is called ZOPE"
And Python is definitly something to be proud of these days.
