But it's not a Python product as such; it's just a set of Python base
classes for the ZClasses in the product. It's true the Python part is the
meat of it, the ZClasses themselves hardly add anything right now.

So does the XMLWidgets product automatically become registered if I have 
a directory called that in the products directly? I've tried importing the
.zexp file into a products dir and it worked fine.

Okay, going out on a limb here, try installing the XMLWidgets.tgz file
(the python stuff). Then restart your Zope. Then go to the products
management screen, and *delete* any XMLWidgets product that may show up.
*then* import the XMLWidgets.zexp. And finally install the demo somewhere
in the folder tree. Then tell me if it worked. :)

There ought to be some way to distribute ZClasses with Python base classes
easily, though...

I'm really glad about this kind of feedback, though, even if it's just
installation issues. :)

Thanks!
