---------------

    ZClasses are tools that help you build new types of objects in
    Zope by defining a *class*.  A class is like a blueprint for
    objects.  When defining a class, you are defining what an object
    will be like when it is created.  A class can define methods,
    properties, and other attributes.

       The following question springs to mind at this point: How does one decide (particularly the newbie) whether
       to use a Zope ('internal') Product, a python-based ('external') Product or ZClasses for e.g. a new
       project/application?
       Each *must* have its relative merits, but which, where?

       According to the ZopeWiki, you should NEVER use ZClasses. http://www.zopewiki.org/ZopeDosAndDonts
