It Depends on the Application (Score:1)
I suspect that which application server you want depends a lot on the application you want to build. I've had a look at Zope, and found it a bit of a pain because the actual development of the web site was too web-oriented. (I want to keep everything in files and keep these under revision control.) As well, it wasn't really optimised for the programming side of building applications.
What works much better for me is Enhydra [enhydra.org], which is very good in terms of developing Java code, and lets you leave plain stuff (html files, images) just as it is.
However, as I said, I suspect which will be better for you depends a lot on what you're trying to build.

Python itself runs on Java (JPython) and there is a vapourware project underway to allow interaction between Zope and JPython. Also, there are a number of Python/Java connection schemes around. I believe there is one that allows you to subclass from an external JRE.
Hope this clears this up!

We're using Weblogic too, but it would take a lot of work to add these features (no WebDAV yet, though database would probably be Versant).
