Python installation will make it very hard to run different kinds of 
sandboxes (that require different versions of packages).

I suggest creating individual, quarantined sandboxes using zopeproject: 
http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/zopeproject

Yes. Somebody created a new zope.app.session egg that doesn't contain a 
CHANGES.txt. We'll try and upload a new one. Thanks for catching this.
