IIRC things have changed somehow for zope 2.7, but for zope <= 2.6 you
can do this:

pw at kermit Zope-2.6.1-src $ export PYTHONPATH=lib/python/ 
pw at kermit Zope-2.6.1-src $ python
Python 2.2.3 (#1, Jul 22 2003, 12:28:47) 
[GCC 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Zope
>>> app = Zope.app()  # this takes a few seconds
>>> app.objectIds()
['acl_users', 'Control_Panel', 'standard_html_header', 'standard_html_footer', 'standard_error_message', 'index_html', 'temp_folder', 'browser_id_manager', 'session_data_manager', 'Examples', 'error_log', 'standard_template.pt']
