pip install zope2>=2.12.20
zope2 fixed: 2.13.10 
pip install zope2>=2.13.10
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show zope2

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2011-3587, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show zope2
