Here's a solution

It says that installing a zope module through pip breaks your zope installation because pip installs it in another directory other than the original zope module directory.

From the link

After install a zope module using pip, for example z3c.password your zope installation gets broken.

This is because pip have installed the module in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/zope and the original module zope.interface is in /usr/share/pyshared/zope/interface/ and has minor relevance when importing.

What worked for me is (also given in the link):

cd /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/zope 
sudo ln -s /usr/share/pyshared/zope/interface/
