[Zope] Zope context

[DA Loeffler]

I got round this one by actually passing the context to the class
constructor as an argument, and storing it as self.context with the
class's __init__ method. You can then freely call things on it, in my
case

for r in self.context.someSQLMethod():

or whatever. Since python functions are call-by-reference, you can
even do self.context.manage_addFolder() or whatever, and it will affect
the context originially passed to it.
