[Zope] Adding an XMLDocument instance Programmatically

I am trying to write a python method which will programmatically create an
instance of an (existing) XML document. (I am using Zope2.1.6 and
XMLDocument 1.0a6) I am able to add an XML document by selecting the
XMLDocument from the available objects ... so XMLDocument is installed
correctly.
Essentially I have taken the 'add' method of XMLDocument and tried to turn
it into an external method. [I was able to successfully do this for the
Parrot product so hopfully I am on the right track]
I can' t seem to get beyond importing Document (cannot import name
Document). Do I need to import other modules? Is this the best/only way to
do this?? Appreciate any help.
from Products.XMLDocument import Document
def add(self, id, title='', file='', REQUEST=None, submit=None):
"""
Add a XML Document object with the contents of file.
"""
ob=Document()
ob.title=title
ob.id=id
if file: ob.parse(file)
id=self._setObject(id, ob)
if REQUEST is not None:
try: u=self.DestinationURL()
except: u=REQUEST['URL1']
if submit==" Add and Edit ": u="%s/%s" % (u,quote(id))
REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect(u+'/manage_main')
return ''
I appologize in advance if I have missed something obvious.
