Ok 2.7 has an instance/Products directory. What magic is letting them be imported? I'm running a bunch of data loader scripts that create persistent zope products. I have found that: import Globals sets things up so that my data loader scripts can import products properly (even though their path is not in sys.path). I looked around in Globals to figure out what's going on and didn't find it. It would be nice if something in: import Zope. would kick off the special import magic! It seems a lot more intuitive to have this at the top of the __main__ script instead of Globals. -EAD
