That might be a bit premature, unless you're already comfortable with PEAK 
and what it currently does.  I'm not positive it can currently be 
considered a 100% replacement for ZPatterns, although it does a great many 
things that ZPatterns does not.

One important piece of functionality that's lacking for your intended 
purpose, is a transaction bridge from PEAK transaction services to the Zope 
transaction service.  I don't have a need for one myself at present, so 
somebody else would need to write one.

Looks like a distutils problem ascertaining the C compiler.  Are you 
perhaps on Windows, and lacking a C compiler?
