I'm trying to learn some Python basics and hoping to use Zope as front end for writing and running a few snippets of code
In that case you should use Zope3. Zope2 is highly-unpythonic, and using it pretty much requires you to learn Zope first, and Python later. Zope2 should be used if you want to build a site with a content management tool like CPS or Plone or Silva, or if you otherwise have some software you wnat to use that runs on Zope2. But if you want to learn python, or create stuff from scratch, Zope3 is generally a much better option.
which may help me get a better understanding of how Zope and Python interact.
When it comes to Zope2: Trust me, you don't want to know. :) -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/
