I created an external product using python to creates a folderish object. During object instantiation by manage_addProduct(self, id, ......): I wish to add a couple of empty files and folder. I tried self.manage_addFolder('folderID', , 'folderName') but it just create a folder outside of the object. I tried id.manage_addFolder('folderID', , 'folderName') but id is a str and does not have manage_addFolder I tried self.getitem(id).manage_addFolder('folderID', , 'folderName') _.getitem(id) is a method I frequently used in DTML but it didn't work in python. what expression do I use to replace with self so ZOPE will create folders and files in the newly generated object? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for earth-friendly autos?
