As far as I know (and I'm no authority) ZClasses aren't really the way to do things any more. Your best bet is probably ZPT's and Python scripts, then eventually should you need to, develop Python-based products.
Well, zclasses vs. zpt & python script is comparing apples and oranges... like saying "don't use a car, use some wheels and engines." ;-) As for zclasses being "not the way", there's some disagreement about this. I don't use 'em myself (lately I've been building on EasyProduct when I want to a new class quickly); others have reported problems transitioning a zclass between zope versions; but Dieter Maurer, who knows as much of zope as anybody, says he's been doing it for years without problems. --PW Paul Winkler "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"
