I figured it out... the solution is right there in the DevGuide,
though it doesn't have exactly this example:

def __init__(...):
    ...
    aqwrapper = self.__of__(self)
    parent = aqwrapper.aq_parent

Now parent is the parent folder of self. Cool.

Of course I immediately realized that I don't need this solution at
all. {:-l I wanted to conditionally create another object in the
parent folder during __init__(), but it finally dawned on me that the
easy way to do that is to do it during the manage_addMyProduct() call,
in which the *folder* is already available as "self". Duh. Much
easier. And it works.
