OK:

  - Shut down the web process

  - cd to lib/python

  - start python

  - import Main

  - Main.app is the top level folder.  You can use
    Python to inspect your objects.  Keep in mind, 
    however, that if you look at __dict__ (or dir())
    before an object is active, the results could be 
    missleading. If you want to make sure an object is
    active, just try getting an attribute from it.

  - You can also use the debugger from the Python prompt.
    For example, to test access to the foo document in folder 
    bar with user ID 'Magnus' and password 123:

      import ZPublisher
      ZPublisher.Main('bar/foo',d=1,u='Magnus:123')

    then step through the debugger and you can see exactly what's
    going on.
