Not really. 

The idea of "Rope" has been mentioned a number of times, but never really 
pursued. Rails, I suppose is the closest thing around, albeit there are a 
number of other apps like Rails as well: IOWA, Nitro, etc. I recently 
mentioned to David Heinemeier Hansson (Rails author) the idea of combining 
his Instiki with Rails to make a Zope killer. No go.

I was programming with Zope before I made the switch to Ruby. There are some 
really nice features that I miss when coding web apps. I sometimes consider 
what "Rope" would be like. I would certainly do some things differently. 
Ironically, much of my work seems to be converging on it. But then again, it 
may just be to hang myself with ;)
