[Zope] Create object from path

[Andreas Jung]

Do you want to create an object or retrieve an object by path.
Your idea below is odd since you do not specify what what
kind of object to be created. In general you need to create
an object and add this object to a container using
container._setOb() or container._setObject(). There is
also another approach using factories. Google for details.
