An Introduction to Zope
Zope is a next-generation Open Source application server and
portal toolkit developed by
Digital Creations and a large active community of users.
It runs on nearly all UNIX platforms as well as Windows NT and
can be used with most popular web servers or its own built in
web server. Zope is written (and extensible with) Python, a powerful
object-oriented programming language, with performance sensitive
components written in C.

Yes you can, but the problem IS, you are storing the connections in a file right ? so you have to make a absolute reference to this file. The connections with databases are objects in ZODB. So you dont have to make absolute references in the filesystem, just appoint to the object.
Another point is acquisition, a powerful way to make references to objects.

Yes the difference is unbelivable...

I am not saying that PHP isnt powerful, I like too much PHP, but when I knew Zope I saw the difference. Zope have support to databases, and access them with extremely intelligence. I think you will like when saw it.

Yes you are right, but we already compared Zope with the another solutions like ColdFusion, WebObjets, Vignnete StoryServer, and etc...
Zope was our choice, is free, open source, robust, powerful and with a very good support from Digital Creations.
