Really, Zope proxies are on about the same level as bound methods.
Another difference is that proxies were *designed* for securing off all access. Bound methods have introspection facilities which allow you to go around them. Restricted execution tries to fence off those introspection facilities, but there may be a hole in the fence. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
