Looks like a difficult problem.

Difficult problems are best addressed by debugging.

Python contains an (archaic) debugger in it runtime library ("pdb")
and there are howtos to use it for Zope debugging.

If you are unfamiliar with Python debugging, a (commercial) IDE
may help you. Colleagues of mine are very satisfied with
the commercial (!) WingIDE.
