yes - but the o.p. should note that it's a python interactive shell,
not a unix shell. So you have the full power of python
at your disposal (yay!) but not your favorite text editor,
grep, tar, etc etc.

yep, very handy. "unixish" being the operative word.
not as convenient as a real interactive unix shell, 
and the command options are peculiar to zope, but very 
valuable nonetheless.

Another thing that might be worth looking into:
davfs.  Zope speaks webdav so it should work.
I have not tried it myself.
