Well, zclasses vs. zpt & python script is comparing apples and oranges...
like saying "don't use a car, use some wheels and engines." ;-)

As for zclasses being "not the way",  there's some disagreement about
this. I don't use 'em myself (lately I've been building on 
EasyProduct when I want to a new class quickly); 
others have reported problems transitioning a zclass between zope 
versions; but Dieter Maurer, who knows as much of zope as anybody, 
says he's been doing it for years without problems.
