Are you using the python that comes with zope? Perhaps the
python that comes with your linux isn't the same one of the one
that you use with zope. Some old python versions doesn't support
things like:

myString.upper()

So, you had better try:
PathToMyZope/bin/python zpasswd.py inituser

or if you compiled python from source, you should use this path.
