I created an external product using python to creates a folderish object. During object instantiation by

            manage_addProduct(self, id, ......):

I wish to add a couple of empty files and folder.

 

I tried 

            self.manage_addFolder('folderID', , 'folderName')

but it just create a folder outside of the object.

I tried

            id.manage_addFolder('folderID', , 'folderName')

but id is a str and does not have manage_addFolder

I tried

            self.getitem(id).manage_addFolder('folderID', , 'folderName')

_.getitem(id) is a method I frequently used in DTML but it didn't work in python.

 

what expression do I use to replace with self so ZOPE will create folders and files in the newly generated object?
