Python on Windows is perfectly capable of handling packages 'Zope' and 
'zope';  the issue is that Windows filesystems don't support having the 
two package directories in the same container directory.

Phillip's solution (put Zope3's 'zope' in a 'src' directory, next to the 
'lib/python' which contains Zope2's 'Zope') should be fine on Windows, 
as long as you put '$ZOPE_HOME/lib/python' in the PYTHONPATH *before* 
'$ZOPE_HOME/src' (you likely want the version of ZODB which ships with 
Zope2).
