[Zope] How to add ZClass instances from Python Script ? Help needed

[Jim Washington]

I have had good luck with:

container.manage_addProduct['nameofthefolder_under_Control_Panel_Products'].ZClassClass.createInObjectManager(thenewID,container.REQUEST)

Here is some actual code from initialization of one of my ZClasses,
which creates 5 instances of another ZClass:

for k in range(1998,2003):
  dataname = 'A'+str(k)
  t = 'Actuals for %s-%s' % (k-1,k)
 
container.manage_addProduct['HSTWProduct'].HSTWDataClass.createInObjectManager(dataname,container.REQUEST)
  container[dataname].manage_changeProperties(title = t)
