[Zope] create File object from Python Script?

[Eric Walstad]

Hi Kyler,

Here's the DTML that creates the file object with a time based serial id:
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('ts', ZopeTime())">
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('id',_.str(_.int(ts)))">
<dtml-call "manage_addFile(id='pwp'+REQUEST['id']+'.fdf',
title=REQUEST['USER_NAME']+'_'+REQUEST['PROJ_NAME']+' FDF File',
file=getFDF(REQUEST.form))">

Note that "getFDF()" is an External Method in this case, but all it does is
return a string.  You can replace it with a string literal or a Python
Script that returns a string, etc,

Hope that helps.
Eric.
