[Zope] ImageFile in python class

[marc lindahl]

It's unclear what you're actually trying to accomplish....
are you:
1. trying to create (instantiate) images for general use in zope (e.g. your
python method is creating a bunch of stuff like a template)
2. trying to create a zope object which contains images (somehow, doesn't
that sound like a folder?  well, it could be a new datatype, like JPicture)
3. trying to create a special type of image object?

for 1., consider making a template folder somewhere, and a script to copy
the whole folder to the new place and rename it....
for 2. or 3., perhaps take a look at the guts of the JPicture product, whic=
h
takes Image and extends it so the object can contain two images
