[Zope] manage_addImage from python

[Jens Vagelpohl]

manage_addExternalMethod is not called on "self". the attribute error 
happens because self does not know this method.

you also don't need to read in the contents and pass them into the 
constructor for external methods, you just need the module and the 
function names.

if "self" is the container you want that external method to go into you 
call it like this::

manage_addExternalMethod ( self, name, name, 'myfile', 'mymethod' )
