[Zope] how to create brain instance in python???

Greetings, I have need to create a brain instance in a python script. How do i do this? The reason is, that i want to return to a page template from a python script a brain instance that is either the result of a catalog query, or an empty/default instance. Then, the template can fill a form field with either the retrieved values or defaults. The Catalog currently contains only objects of a single Meta Type.
