[Zope] Batch folder creation

[David H]

John,

Seems like external scripts and dictionaries are a theme today.  You 
need to check python manuals for file handling.  Its a simple 
implementation.  Then you would parse out names and title and put them 
in a dictionary and return.

then in replace range(1...10) as seen in earlier messages with something 
*like*

for n in yourDictionary: 
 container.manage_addFolder(id = n, title = yourDictionary[n])
