Nope, EJB is a Java-only spec, not an interoperability spec.  You might
look at something like CORBA, etc which can cross language bounderies.
Zope is built in Python and C.

Unless someone can get Zope running in JPython (Python implemented in
Java) this isn't going to happen, and even if you could do it, the
performance hit would be intense.
