[Zope3-Users] Generation's install script

[Lorenzo Gil Sanchez]

I'll answer to myself just in case anybody else will ever have the same
problem:

The problem is that I was adding the folder to the root of the ZODB and
Zope's concept of root is differente. The root object you see using the
ZMI in Zope is a folder called 'Application', which is in the real root
ZODB object. So this fixes my problem:

root = context.connection.root()
app = root['Application']
app['my_folder'] = Folder()
transaction.commit()

Hope it helps

Lorenzo
