Yup Zope is server-side but Jython
is not strictly a client-side technology <wink>,
it is just a language implementation,
today one can write applets but also servlets
in Jython etc.

Apropos of Jython and Zope,
typically people would like to see Zope
ported to Jython in order to achieve
some kind of tight J2EE integration.
This is a very high-level plan and
concretely could mean a lot of things ...

There have been some ongoing efforts
to port Zope to Jython (now mostly frozen):

www.phabric.org

and in this interview

http://www.zopera.org/Members/odeckmyn/fulton_iv_2002

Jim Fulton declares to expect some kind of (Zope's ?) 
commutity effort
to port Zope to Jython, once Zope is at 3 and Jython at 2.2.

Until then probably not much will happen.
