It is similar for ZPT.

ZPT use the "official" creation method (not an abbreviated form
like DTML). It looks like:

     ob.manage_addProduct['PageTemplates'].manage_addPageTemplate(
       id, title, text)

"PageTemplateFile" is the correspondence for "HTMLFile".
However, I would directly read the file content (with Python's
"open" followed by "read") and pass it as "text" to the
constructor.
