[Zope] Python -> ZopePython cheat sheet?

[Chris McDonough]

You may want to try out Dieter Maurer's DocFinder product
(http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/DocFinder.html).
Otherwise the help system and the Zope Book appendices are what
you've got.  Note that there is a fairly extensive API reference in
the help system.

Were you successful at accessing your Zope objects in a Python
prompt?  Were you able to glean this from some of the other things
that were sent your way last week:

cd ZOPEHOME/lib/python
python
>>> import Zope
>>> app = Zope.app()
>>> app.objectIds()
['standard_error_message', ...]

You can explore Zope objects via a command-line this way.

HTH,
