That sounds like a good idea.  I need to think about it.  You wouldn't 
want z3.py to always read the entire Zope configuration, of course, 
since you don't need (or want) a complete configuration to start a ZEO 
server or truncate a FileStorage.  Maybe there should be a database and 
server configuration file independent of the application configuration 
files.

Note that another way to extend z3.py would be to derive from it.  For 
example there might be a z3ssl.py (for SSL support) that subclasses the 
main class in z3.py.
