Extending Python and Zope in C

Where to go From Here
This quick introduction to Zope Products has shown you how to take a C-language function from C code to usability in Zope. To learn how to write Products, you're going to have to read much more documentation (most of it still in progress) and, frankly, study existing Products to see how they're done. There is a great deal of power and flexibility in the Zope model, and it's well worth exploring.
I'm currently working on a large C integration project with Zope: I'm integrating my workflow toolkit. By the time this article is published, I hope it will be in some shape to be read. It's listed in the Resources below, so check it out; there should be an extended example by the time you read this. Wish me luck.
