What shell are you using? That's not how you set an environment
variable in any of the bourne-style shells (sh, bash, ksh).
For those, you would use:

 export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/zope/278/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH

And it's not how you set environment vars in tcsh either.
For that, you would use:

 setenv PYTHONPATH /usr/local/zope/278/lib/python:$PYTHONPATH

In both cases you would normally append the existing PYTHONPATH as
shown here, but that's not your current problem.

I'm not clear on what exactly "set" does in tcsh;
in bash it sets positional parameters, which isn't what you want:

pw at kermit ~ $ echo $FOO

pw at kermit ~ $ set FOO=bar
pw at kermit ~ $ echo $FOO

pw at kermit ~ $ echo $1
FOO=bar
pw at kermit ~ $ export FOO=bar
pw at kermit ~ $ echo $FOO
bar
