Specifically, the 2.6 edition (the one currently marked
"in progress").  The "Advanced Scripting" chapter
contains a lot of information about how to get things done
using zope's Python Script and External Method objects.
The API Reference section at the end of the book is
also indispensable.

If you want to build persistent classes in python, that's
a bit trickier.  These are called Products. 

The Zope Developer's Guide (at www.zope.org/Documentation/Books) 
is the canonical source of information here, though it
may be rather confusing when just starting out. 
In that case, Max M's "Minimal" product tutorial is a very 
good starting place:
