• On the Python home page, you'll find the complete Python documentation, as well as the Python source distributions you'll need to extend Python. The Python documentation is in tutorial form, which I don't particularly like, but if take time to read it, you'll find the answers to a lot of your Python questions.
• If you're developing for Windows, you'll need Robin Dunn's build tools.
• The Zope home page is where you can read the Zope documentation. The documentation for Zope is very raw, but getting better by leaps and bounds. The entire text of the forthcoming book The Zope Book is online, along with a great many how-to documents of varying levels of usefulness. Pay particular attention to the Zope Developer's Guide; it's still a work in progress, but it contains a lot of useful information about building and distributing Zope products.
• Using External Methods covers the details of creating External Methods for Zope.
• A Very Minimal Product how-to is a good introduction in how to get started with a Zope Product. The "minimal" product doesn't do much, but it's easier to understand than the current Zope Developer's Guide.
• Visit the wftk home page. My workflow toolkit (a C library) is my big Zope integration project. When it's ready for public viewing I'll link to it from the project home page, so check there for more information on Zope integration.
