[Zope-dev] Understanding 2.7 Product import

[Erik A.Dahl]

Ok 2.7 has an instance/Products directory.  What magic is letting them 
be imported?  I'm running a bunch of data loader scripts that create 
persistent zope products.  I have found that:

import Globals

sets things up so that my data loader scripts can import products 
properly (even though their path is not in sys.path).  I looked around 
in Globals to figure out what's going on and didn't find it.  It would 
be nice if something in:

import Zope.

would kick off the special import magic!  It seems a lot more intuitive 
to have this at the top of the __main__ script instead of Globals.
