Whaddya mean? The following command returns the proper HTML:

wget --http-user=username --http-passwd=password
http://localhost:8080/manage_main

This tells me that it is possible to supply the username and password
programatically from outside the Zope framework and (presumably) get
some real work done. But the authorization doesn't carry through under
python.urllib2. Why is that?
