[Zope] Search ZCatalog from Python code

[Chris McDonough]

Inside a class of a Zope Product:

  container =3D "self.aq_inner.aq_parent"

  context =3D self

So if you have a ZCatalog named "Catalog" you could call the=20
searchResults method of "Catalog" from a Zope product like so:

catalog =3D self.Catalog # acquire the Catalog
results =3D catalog.searchResults({'meta_type':'foo'})
