If you install it that way, you will invariably get all its egg 
dependencies, which means Zope 3.4.x as you observed correctly. Either 
way, doing a global install is probably the worst thign you can do (see 
below).

Either you

a) stay on Zope 3.3 and *don't* install z3c.form via setuptools. Simply 
copy the package to $INSTANCE/lib/python. That requires, of course, that 
z3c.form actually works on Zope 3.3.

b) move to eggified Zope 3.4. The easiest way to do this is to use 
zopeproject: http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/zopeproject

Install zopeproject as mentioned on the page. Then invoke the 
'zopeproject' script to create a sandbox, which is like an instance. 
Finally, proceed with the instructions in the "Adding dependencies to 
the application" section.
