hi all!

here's what i've found out so far:
zope 2.7.x is based on old style python classes.
zope 2.8.x will be rewritten to use new style classes (did'nt have time
to look at 2.8.0a1 yet, though)

i know quite little about the actual differences in new/old style classes.
btw: my initial problem with classmethod() is not related with new style
classes at all.

for the changes to extension classes in 2.8 i recommend reading the
changelog for 2.8.0a1...
