I have the feeling that you are working on a too low level.

In Zope, you would usually work with a "ZCatalog" instance
and not a "Catalog" instance.

ZCatalog's "addIndex" has the signature you expect.
"Catalog"'s "addIndex" has the signature "addIndex(name,indexObject)".
See at "ZCatalog.addIndex" code to find out how to convert
an index type into an index.
