I think Zope will introduce some pretty heavy dependencies simply for a
templating system.  It looks like there may be some independent
libraries for for using Zope's TAL language, although I believe that
we're kind of leaning away from XML-like templating syntaxes for a
variety of reasons.  Right now I think that Django and Cheetah are the
top two choices.
