If you have a large number of locations to add it can be far more efficient to add them through the zendmd command line interface. Here is an example:

locations = "Denver,New York,London,Moab".split(',')

for name in locations:
   dmd.getDmdRoot("Locations").createOrganizer(name)


commit()

Special thanks to Chet Luther for his post that started me on the right path and ZDeviceLoader?.py which gave me the syntax to add a location.
