You're misinformed.  Almost all of "Zope 3" works with Python 2.5. 
Specifically it sounds like you're interested in zope.interface and 
zope.component, both of which work fine with 2.5.  For a 
project-by-project listing, see 
http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/ModuleImplementationStatus.

Almost all of the individual packages have been ported at this point. 
I'm not sure as to the status of RestrictedPython, but it doesn't sound 
like you want to use it anyway.
