I'm pulling my hair out. Have my questions been asked and answered 500 times on this list? I don't care, put me on the dink list, I'm desperate. It's not like I haven't been pounding my head against the docs for too long. Here's what I want: - classes defined in Python modules - object persistence via ZODB - manipulation of objects via XML-RPC - Zope security features I _don't_ need: - manipulation of my objects via Zope Management Interface I have tried: - Old Product API; couldn't get it to work, following How-To's - ZClasses; couldn't get it to work, using Zope Guides Am I an idiot? If I follow the directions in the How-To's and Guides, will I end up with what I want? Have I screwed up? Can I no longer follow instructions? This used to seem much clearer. Maybe something heavy fell on my head. Where do I start over? My god, I'm frustrated. Thanks for any help. __________________________________________________________________________ Visit http://www.visto.com/info, your free web-based communications center. Visto.com. Life on the Dot.
