This is one of Zope's core features.  Scripts, Documents, Methods, and 
Templates (the various sorts of programmable object in Zope) are all 
constrained by Zope's security policies.  You can give a totally 
untrusted user the ability to use Python code, and the worst they can do 
to your server is deny service.
