[Zope] External Method Working Directory?

[Peter Bengtsson]

Products?? That is odd. I thought it was the var/ directory or at
least the zope instance home directory. From the External method you
should have access to INSTANCE_HOME and SOFTWARE_HOME. Try if these
are what you want. I doubt that you'll find your Extensions/ dir in
any of them so you might have do something like:

import os
return os.path.join(INSTANCE_HOME, 'Extensions')
