[Zope] How to access Zope root in Script (Python)

[Clemens Robbenhaar]

Hi Jon,

 > How do I refer to the root Zope directory within a Python script?

 From file system level code one could just say "context.getPhysicalRoot()",
but for some reason this is not allowed inside a Script. Maybe this is
due to security restrictions this people cannot mess with the Zope root
if they do only have permissions for some nested folders.

 You could try:

   1. use an External Method as a helper, which calls getPhysicalRoot()
      on the file system level.

   2. use 'restrictedTraverse':

      root = container.restrictedTraverse('/')

 The second one is possibly the simpler way to do it.

cheers,
