You need to put self as a parameter to your method and then do
for x in self.folderObject.objectValues():
  return x

You use "self" to get at all of the stuff in the ZODB. Note that self is
bound to the container of the PythonMethod. So, if you want the PM to work
on the current folder, you can just do:

for x in self.objectValues():
  return x

(Of course, this will just return the first value, but that was your example
:)
