[Zope] Issues with programmatically deleting objects

[Bart Jansen]

Hi Niv,

Probably, in your Undo tab, you do see an item which corresponds to the 
execution of your test script. Because this script executed the 
manage_delObjects() method, you need to undo that entry to undo the 
deletion.

As I do not have any experience with xmlrpclib, I can just give you a 
general pointer about debugging your code. If you remove the 
manage_delObjects command from the script, and execute it via your 
external script, does it still throw the same error? If not, it is 
probably the call to manage_delObjects that is causing the problem.

Also check the error traceback in the Zope error_log to see what threw 
the error.

Regards,
Bart
