reindex_object is a method of the mix-in class CatalogAwareness.

   lib/python/Products/ZCatalog/CatalogAwareness.py line 191

     def reindex_object(self):
         """ Suprisingly useful """
         self.unindex_object()
         self.index_object()

I think calling index_object should work, as a well-implemented catalog 
will do the right thing. However, calling reindex_object makes your 
intentions more explicit.
