The 'Interface' package from Zope is the only one you need if you're just 
doing things from the tutorial.  If you need a version of 'kjbuckets' that 
works with Python 2.2, see:

To download an Interface package, I'd suggest going to:

http://cvs.zope.org/Packages/Interface

And then click on "Download tarball".  If you want a 2.2-enhanced Interface 
package, pick "Zope-3X-branch" from the "Show only files with tag" dropdown 
before clicking on "Download tarball".  Unpack the tarball in the 
"site-packages" directory of your Python installation.  That should be all 
you need from Zope.

If you want to run the TW test suite, it currently requires 
ExtensionClasses.  The easiest way to get ExtensionClasses installed is to 
install the StandaloneZODB package.  You can get it at:

http://www.zope.org/Products/StandaloneZODB

It will take a little more work to install, and if you're on Windows you'll 
need a C compiler, either VC++ or Cygwin/MinGW32.
