I've seen this error before.  Upgrading python won't help.  You need a
fix in Zope 3, but I do not know if there's an updated Zope 3.2 point
release with the fix.  You may need to backport the fix from Zope 3.3.1.
I can find the patch for you if you're interested.

It can be fixed without updating twisted, just by patching one file in
Zope 3.
