[Zope] Python -> ZopePython cheat sheet?

[Skip Montanaro]

I am *so* used to just being able to explore around my Python interpreter
and having everything I need documentation-wise in the global module index
of the library reference manual that I am finding the whole Zope experience
incredibly frustrating.  Is there no equivalent of dir() or type() which I
can use from a Python script to find out what the heck I've been passed?
Assuming there is some way to find out what I've gote, is there something
like Python's global module index where I can just click on "Formulator" or
"container" and get some documentation useful to a Python programmer?
