I do not know but I fear it.

  The current schema uses a "python_dotted_path" to specify
  the "container-class".
  I may be wrong, but I doubt that you can access a ZClass
  via a "python_dotted_path".

  If I am right, you would need to change at least
  the datatype for your "ZClass" container-class.

You might get away with just changing the datatype.

It is your problem. You must investigate further...
