Python Extensions can execute without *any* security checks (unlike
Zope's PythonScripts). Being able to edit them through-the-web would be
more risky, as a mistake in your Zope permissions would let someone
execute arbitrary code not just in Zope-land, but on your actual computer.

I'd think about this before implementing anything.
