Python Script has a same_type(x,y) function. Florent Guillaume Nuxeo Steve Alexander <steve@cat-box.net> wrote:
I have a variable, f.
The value of f might be a list, or it might be a string.
I want to do different things to f depending what type it is.
How do I check its type from a PythonScript?
I can't use type(), as this opens up a security hole with Extension Classes, where the type is the class.
I can't import types, as that seems to be restricted.
I suggest that either one or both of the following be altered:
* The types module is allowed to be imported into restricted stuff.
* A safe version of type() is put into the restricted global namespace.
I seem to recall a discussion of this a few months ago, where someone (Evan?) proposed a safe version of type(). I guess this got lost in the conversion to RestrictedPython with Zope 2.4.
Oh yeah... an ugly workaround is to try to append to f and see if you get and AttributeError.
