[Zope] Catalog Awareness

[Geoff Armstrong]

Hi,

I have a need to modify a Zope product so that at least one of it's 
classes becomes catalog aware.

All the documentation I can find on catalog awareness refers to 
building ZClasses and giving them this feature; but the product I 
need to modify is built with external python code that resides in the 
"Products" directory. I understand though that it is possible for a 
product to be built which is a hybrid of Python code and ZClasses. So 
perhaps it is possible?

Right now I'm having to use a workaround that changes the properties 
of a dtml document each time I need to catalog a new item of the 
product class concerned. I then re-catalog the same dtml document 
with the new properties; but this is taking to much of a toll on 
performance.

Can anyone advise me on this?

Thanks
