Can I assume the '85' in your username indicates a birth year?

Zope was a Python project from the late 90s, and had quite a bit of attention and traction in the early cms/publishing days. That brought Python attention, and certainly gave it some mindshare in the late 90s.

I don't think Zope/Plone had hardly anything to do with Python's rise. While a number of significant sites were built on Zope or Plone, the relative ease with setting up such a site meant that little or no code-level modification or extension was necessary.
