For those our there in the audience keeping score (and for the poor schmuck who searches the list archive for the answer to the same question):
The answer is manage_addProduct['VarImage'].manage_addVarImage(imagename, imagedata)
Where manage_addProduct[productname].productconstructor(parameters) is the general form.
Yes indeed... fwiw, this is mentioned in the 2.6 edition of the Zope Book. Maybe not easy to find, but it's there, in the "advanced scripting" chapter: """ Add a new object to the context Scripts can add objects to folders, just like you do in the Zope management interface. The context has to be a folderish object (i.e. a folder or another object derived from ObjectManager). The general pattern is: context.manage_addProduct['PackageName'].manage_addProductName(id) manage_addProduct is a mapping in which we can look up a dispatcher - an object which gives us the necessary factory for creating a new object in the context. For most of the built-in Zope classes, the PackageName is OFSP, and the factory method is named after the product class itself. Once you have the factory method, you must pass it whatever arguments are needed for adding an object of this type. Some examples will make this clear. ...
