This is straigt forward: use the ZClass as base class.

Thats the way to do it. Your python product does not even need to register
for objectmanager, so you can make sure it has to be extendet with TTW
ZClass. (I used it to avoid including html into filesystem, instead I
provide only stubs in the python product and make the management interface
and user interface thru the web with dtml and stuff (preferably ZPT 
nowadays)
