Another post said "Don't use ZClasses", which is very good advice.

Python "Products" are a bit hard to get started with, but you'll be
happier in the long and medium-run. The best howto's I have found are
in the books "Zope Bible" and "Definitive Guide to Plone" (by Andy
McKay, just published, and really excellent. Order via the author's
website [ http://zopezen.org/ ] so he gets a commission).

I usually start developing a Zope project using only Scripts, Page
Templates, occcasional External Methods, and ZSQL Methods. Often
that's all you need to finish a project too.
