Hi As Attila pointed out, zope.proxy is possible to implement using peak.util.proxies if you only want some limited zope.proxy support. You won't get zope.security going down this path.
I do that specifically so that I can use zope.deferredimport on app engine. Below is the awful hacking I do to zope.proxy.__init__ to make it support zope.deferredimport on appengine.
