I use something like this to add a DTML Method inside of my folderish product:

# Add default interface index_html = HTMLFile('dtml/index_html', globals()) text = index_html.read_raw() ob.manage_addDTMLMethod(id='index_html', title='') idx = ob.index_html idx.manage_edit(text, title='')

the source for the index_html file is in the dtml folder in my product, and is called index_html.dtml

Is this the correct Zope idiom? How can I do something similar for ZPT?

It is similar for ZPT.

ZPT use the "official" creation method (not an abbreviated form like DTML). It looks like:

ob.manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'].manage_addPageTemplate( id, title, text)

"PageTemplateFile" is the correspondence for "HTMLFile". However, I would directly read the file content (with Python's "open" followed by "read") and pass it as "text" to the constructor.

Ok. That was actually my first thought, but how do I find the directory in which my product? This is how I have done it ... dirname = os.path.dirname(__file__) zpt = os.path.join(dirname, 'zpt') index_html = open(os.path.join(zpt, 'index_html.zpt')) text = index_html.read() ob.manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'].manage_addPageTemplate( 'index_html', '', text) I could not find PageTemplateFile from my script... it is not in Globals with HTMLFile. I also found package_home in Globals while looking through ZopePageTemplate.py but I am not quite sure how to use it.
