I have a need to do some creating of objects from python code.

Am I correct in thinking that to add a new object, that is one of my products, I need to do something like:

folder.manage_addProduct['ProductName'](id='foo', title='bar')

I have sample code to create simple things like using manage_addDTMLMethod, etc, but nothing for a product.

The way I've got my data stored is in a combination of dictionaries and lists... it was an ugly enough process to export it - now importing it seems worse.

Any help would be appreciated.

You may want to export your data into an XML file and reimport that. I will write an external method that creates a ZClass for a tag and an attribute for a property. The code already works for creating Folders, so have a look at my XML2Zope external method. http://www.zope.org/Members/roeder I have written some related notes on my weblog: http://uzopia.editthispage.com/2000/11/15 Best regards, Maik Röder
