Zope2 is highly-unpythonic, and using it pretty much requires you to learn Zope first, and Python later. Zope2 should be used if you want to build a site with a content management tool like CPS or Plone or Silva, or if you otherwise have some software you wnat to use that runs on Zope2. But if you want to learn python, or create stuff from scratch, Zope3 is generally a much better option. > which may help me get a better understanding of how Zope and Python interact.

As one who picked up Python and Zope/Plone together I'd HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend that you avoid the extra complication of Zope when learning Python. Once you're past that, make sure you install the ExternalEditor product for editing. Use a simple text editor and run python on the command line (or look for a GUI/context sensitive editor if you're into that sort of thing). You'll save yourself a lot of headaches vs. starting inside Zope. Python tutorials abound on the web, but I've not looked at them enough to recommend any particular one.

When you upload a file through HTTP upload then you can access the body as context.REQUEST['yourfile'].read().
