You're basically right, except that Zope 3 will have python scripts. 
These will work in much the same way as a Zope 2 python script, except 
that they will never be used as 'methods' of a context object. They will 
function only as stand-alone scripts, much like the "Zope OS" equivalent 
of python scripts that you might have on your hard disk filesystem as 
alternatives to shell scripts.

So, definitely "python scripts" rather than "python methods" (for anyone 
who remembers python methods for zope 2).
