The need to commit a transaction has been part of the ZODB since day 1.

Maybe the behavior of the old Zope client stuff has changed. I  
honestly don't know anyone who uses it. Nowadays I would always write  
scripts that are invoked using "zopectl run", which means you need to  
have a ZEO-enabled setup, if you don't have it already.

import transaction
transaction.commit()

This doesn't work with the Zope client approach, which is basically  
glorified URL-whacking...
