I had been wanting to see exactly what methods and attributes a given object in a zope path would have access to. After buggering around with the monitor for a while, I created an external method which does the job for me. Put the file 'browse.py' into your Extensions directory, Create a DTML method called 'viewself' (or whatever) in your Zope root folder Upload the file 'viewself.dtml' into your 'viewself' DTML method You will now be able to get a listing of all attributes and methods for your object by using the url: http://yourzope/path/to/your/object/viewself Bugs: I havent been able to get this line to work properly: self.typestr = str(type(value)) the result of str(type(obj)) always sees to be an empty string, even though comparing types seems to work. If anyone has any clues as to why this might be, let me know.
