Applying Dieter's good advice, I still encounter problems.  The ZClass
with its Python base classes does not inherit from ObjectManager.  When I 
try to add that in by reconstructing the class, I get the diagnostic
appended below when I try to create the inner class whether it inherits 
from ObjectManager or not.
