This is a bug. I suppose I should put this in the collector. Bleah. I found an (unsupported) way of getting at them through the root object's _product_zclasses attribute (which holds a tuple containing mappings describing zclasses). This way of getting at Zclasses is not recommended, as it's an implementation detail and not an interface and will almost certainly change. But... import Zope app = Zope.app() myzclassstuff = app._product_zclasses Then poke through the myzclassstuff... meta_class is the member of the mapping that you want to look at that contains the actual class. I found this by accident, and when I asked Jim about it I got a sidelong glance, so you should *definitely* not base anything permanent on this method of grabbing zclass instances.

Damn. Sorry for misleading everybody! This is only in CVS.
Ok, So is there any way (in Zope 2.1.6) to instantiate a ZClass in Zope from within a Python product by accessing self.Control_Panel.Products, or by any other means?
Is there some sort of 'Chinese Wall' between the two ways of building applications, or is this a bug?
