I have a Page Template and Python Script that are working fairly well
together to generate a navigational menu on my site, and now I want to
make them part of a product.  I have tried this:
The "context" equivalent in a Python product's method
is usually "self.aq_parent"; the "container" equivalent
"self.aq_inner.aq_parent".
I expected you to be right, so I tried a simple method like this:

    security.declarePublic('foo')
    def foo(self):
        """Test method"""
        return self.aq_parent.absolute_url()

When called through the web, it displays the URL for the parent of the instance
that defines foo, not the object on which I'm calling the method.  Aargh!
