Where is the best place to learn how to write my own Python Base class?  I 
know the basic Python syntax for creating new subclasses, but I'm not sure 
how this all works in the context of Zope.  For example, which directory 
should I put my new class file in?  Should it just go in my products 
directory?  Do I need to do anything special to make it work as a base 
class for a ZClass?  Are there standard things which should be "imported" 
into my .py file to make things work with Zope?  Is there a simple example 
of this that I could look at somewhere?

Thanks.
