Hi, I've been working on my Zope product almost entirely through the ZMI (it's pretty GUI intensive), but I'm reaching a point where I need to refactor and make a lot of modifications, so I've just started to work from the Python interpreter. I've set up the environment correctly (the same as I set up in "start" -- I have an "Instance" style installation of Zope), shutdown the service (to avoid a ZODB conflict), and got as far as:
import Zope import Products from Interface import *
successfully. I've been using the Interface tools to examine my classes, but I really want to examine the instances. I can create new instances in memory by just calling the constructor:
my_instance = my_class()
but I have some (time) expensive stuff installed into the ZODB already -- it'd be nicer to just access the existing instances. Is that possible? Because so far, I haven't found where the "Root Folder" is imported. My understanding is that once I have the root object to the ZODB/OFS that I'll be able to access everything else by examining attributes, but I don't know how to get the top level object. (And I assume I must be able to access it, because why else would there be a conflict?) I figure I'm probably not looking at the right documentation for that, and hoping someone on the list knows.
