Read the Zope Book on acquisition and the special properties of index_html. Strange as the behavior may seem, you will come to love it. On Sat, 24 May 2003, martin f krafft wrote:
i have a python script doing the following:

This works beautifully whenever file is set to something that's not 'index_html'; the file gets added if and only if there isn't one yet.
However, in the case of index_html, it always seems to exist, even if there is no index_html in the current folder (and yes, I have verified that context is the right folder).
