Sorry, but without a full recipe to reproduce this, I don't believe you;
 Zope raises exceptions just fine, and catches them itself only at the
publisher layer, where they get rendered into a standard error message,
as well as being dumped to the 'error_log' object.  The effect you
describe would only occur if some piece of application code (your
script, or something that calls it) were swallowing the exception with a
'try: ... except: pass' (or similar).

I would need to see the entire text of your script, plus whether this is
a PythonScript, an ExternalMethod, or some bit of filesystem product
code.  I would also need to know what version of Zope and Python you are
using.
