[Zope] Python Scripts

[Chris McDonough]

Dennis,

This works:

context.manage_addProduct['PythonScripts'].manage_addPythonScript('bar
')

The thing in quotes passed in to manage_addProduct is the *Product
name*.  For the case of Python Scripts, this is 'PythonScripts' (see
your Zope's lib/python/Products directory... you'll see a directory
named PythonScripts.. this is the product name).

The method called manage_addPythonScript is the ZMI constructor for
Python Scripts.  It's defined by way of the PythonScript product's
__init__.py initialize() method.

        constructors=(PythonScript.manage_addPythonScriptForm,
                      PythonScript.manage_addPythonScript),

(the second one is the constructor, the first is the form).  The
actual definition of the constructor "manage_addPythonScript" in this
case is inside lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/PythonScript.py.  You
can see what arguments it takes by looking at this file.

Every ZMI-addable object has a constructor that is defined in a
similar way.  Each constructor is different so it's best to either use
the help system to figure out its arguments or just examine the source
directly.
