Try doing:

    import OFS.Application
    OFS.Application.import_products()

(Or alternatively:
    import Zope
    Zope.startup()
 but this opens an actual ZODB storage, etc, which you don't necessarily
 want to do.)

Catalogs are in a Product, and to use Products you must first call the above
magic.  Obviously in a running Zope this has already been done for you :)
