[Zope] to class or not to class?

[Marco Mariani]

I reckon that:

 1) Without ZClasses, I am lost
 
 2) Without external methods using ZClasses, I am lost

 3) to make 1) and 2) happen, I need to create new products

hence

 4) I need to ask my provider to let me install my own products
    (at a premium, of course, because it's a zope virtual server
    for me alone).

Right?

Why is it so? Is it a philosophical, political or technical choice?


And again, sorry to bother you, but where can I understand the
difference (and moral implications) between Python Methods and
External Methods?

I've read in the mailing list archive about some problems between
Ext. Meth. and ZClasses, I can't find the post anymore. At the time,
I didn't know that I needed ZClasses. Is there any truth?


Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
