Dennis, This works: context.manage_addProduct['PythonScripts'].manage_addPythonScript('bar ') The thing in quotes passed in to manage_addProduct is the *Product name*. For the case of Python Scripts, this is 'PythonScripts' (see your Zope's lib/python/Products directory... you'll see a directory named PythonScripts.. this is the product name). The method called manage_addPythonScript is the ZMI constructor for Python Scripts. It's defined by way of the PythonScript product's __init__.py initialize() method. constructors=(PythonScript.manage_addPythonScriptForm, PythonScript.manage_addPythonScript), (the second one is the constructor, the first is the form). The actual definition of the constructor "manage_addPythonScript" in this case is inside lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/PythonScript.py. You can see what arguments it takes by looking at this file. Every ZMI-addable object has a constructor that is defined in a similar way. Each constructor is different so it's best to either use the help system to figure out its arguments or just examine the source directly. - C ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis Allison" <allison@sumeru.stanford.EDU> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Saturday, July 27, 2002 6:04 PM Subject: [Zope] Python Scripts

I'm trying to create a Script (Python) object on the fly. I know the constructor is manage_addPythonScript and the metatype is 'Script (Python)'. What I can't figure out is the appropriate Dispatcher? I've looked and elsewhere to no avail. I have tried manage_addProduct['OFSP'], but it's clearly not the right one. Some other obvious permutations also failed.

I've been led to believe that the proper dispatcher for foldershi items is manage_addProduct['OFSP'], but what about for other products?

In the same vein, what is the Dispatcher for ZClasses? manage_addZClass?
