[Zope3-Users] Get to ZODB root from global utility

[John Smith]

Dear Jim,

I was unable to import IDatabase from ZODB.interfaces,
although I could import IDataManager and IConnection.

However, when I tried:

root = zapi.getUtility(IDataManager)

I got a componentlookuperror. (The same error happens
with IConnection).

Any thoughts?

Thanks for your help,

John
