Two problems:

  - The example in zope.conf for security-policy-implementation uses the wrong case; it should read 'security-policy-implementation PYTHON'.

  - Even if you set that correctly, it won't have any effect. AccessControl seems to be imported *before* configuration, so when Zope tries to decide what implementation to use, the env var isn't configured by zope.conf yet and so the C implementation is chosen.

Workaround: set the ZOPE_SECURITY_POLICY env var manually.
