There is always an awkward one isn't there. I think I may have confounded this by running Python 2.2 on my machine (Windows 2000, Zope 2.5.0, PyCrust 0.7 - from wxPython 2.3.2.1).

When I add the zope home/lib/python to my path and "import Zope" I get a pop up stating "The dynamic link library python21.dll could not be found in the specified path " followed by the contents of my %PATH%. So, I added "E:\\Work\\Zope\\bin" to my path as well (the location of python21.dll) but that didn't solve the problem. I'm presuming that this is because I launch pycrust using Python 2.2 and that the dlls are somehow incompatible. Or, I could just be doing something wrong.
