Absolutely - I have been working on a large database-centric app that
uses Zope's object database as the only datastore. Unfortunately, no
demo site as yet, but we are in the process of getting one organised. 

The combination of Zope's ODB, acquisition and dtml (Dynamic Template
Markup Language), along with Python's OO support and ease of learning
and a web front end make it a killer development tool - absolutely,
amazingly productive. 

I cannot recommend it highly enough !
