Twisted does not, has never, and *will* never require Zope.  It requires 
Zope Interface, which is a separate, isolated library used by, and 
developed for, Zope.  Get it here:

http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeInterface

This is not the first time I've heard this misunderstanding.  How could 
we have more clearly worded the error message that you saw so that you'd 
notice that Zope Interface is not Zope?

Download the latest Zope Interface from the URL above.  It's supported 
by Python 2.5, and it works fine.
