Yep. My experiences are some sort of similar. I have played more than 
a year now with Zope and possibly half a year with Python. Python was 
never that much the problem -- it took some time to realise what is 
shared and when an object is actually copied etc.

Zope itself standed a more mysterious piece of work for longer. Then 
suddenly the source code - or atleast parts of it - started to make 
sense. Python structures made sense, and after that things started to 
click into their places.

There are still things that in Python bite into my anckle from time to 
time, but I feel that I am learning -- and for most of time my job is 
not to code that much in Python, but to do scripts that utilize the 
best parts of other peoples' great modules or products.

And yes. I do love Zope.
