[Zope] How do I write to a text file from Python?

[Jakob Schou Jensen]

Hi Dieter,

Where is the 'manage_upload' function documented?

The problem that I had with manage_addFile seems to because I passed it a
unicode object rather than a string. The error message was "*'unicode'
object has no attribute 'seek'*" which led me to think a file-like object
was needed.

Thanks,

Jakob
