I did it for a DTMLMethod, but I think it is similar to the other cases. In
my case, I just created an external method with this:

from OFS import DTMLMethod

def createMethod(folderObj, id, title, text):
  # Creates a dtml Method
  DTMLMethod.addDTMLMethod(self=folderObj,id=id,title=title)
  #Gets a reference to the created object
  ob=folderObj._getOb(id)
  #Changes the contents of the created object
  ob.manage_edit(data=text,title=title)

You just have to look at the html source code of the Zope's manage
interface and see what methods are called when creating/editing a
python script, page template and a ZSQL Method. Then, you have
to search the implementation of this methods to see what parameters
you need and which packages you have to import.
