Zope for Windows has its own Python included and it is installed
by default at c:\Program files\Zope....\bin\python.exe

I've just tried on my vmware Windows installation to download
Zope 2.8.8 final from zope.org and install it.
It just works, even without 'work as service' option.
from datetime import datetime works as well.

Python 2.3.5 (#62, Feb  8 2005, 16:23:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> exit
'Use Ctrl-Z plus Return to exit.'
>>> ^Z

I'm not sure why it fails on your system. Try googling for datetime
problems.
