Err... I would not recommend anyone that. It looks like too much
trouble for what you want to do. As for myself, I would wait until the
pythonlabs folks finish porting the ExtensionClass stuff to be
compatible with python2.2 (which should happen RSN, afaict).

BUT, if you want to go the Zope 3 route, I would love to give you a
hand >:)
