ZPublisher is the component of the Zope framework that is responsible 
for the following tasks: 
   * Acts like light-weight ORB
   * build special objects REQUEST and RESPONSE
   * fetch arguments
   * resolve the path in the request locator into an object
   * initiate user authentication
   * handle any exceptions raised during this process
----------------------------------------------------------------------
By Definition:
Zpublisher is a Python-based object publishing mechanism that maps URLs 
to an object hierarchy and handles the interface between the Web server 
and the Web application, hiding many complex details.  Zpublisher is 
used with the Zope application server and portal toolkit, but it can be 
used standalone as well.  Zpublisher was called Bobo before Zope came 
along.
