Hi

I must be stupid or something, but I can't for the life of me work out a simple way of determining if a variable contains a string or array, in a PythonScript in Zope.

I can't import type and or use type() function. isinstance doesn't work because I can't give a type as the second arg.

Python scripts provide a special function, "same_type()", for this purpose. Example: if same_type(s, ''): s = [s] Shane
