Please excuse this newbie question:
How do I refer to an object from a variable in a python script?
eg:
Have a document named 'mydoc' in the current folder where this script lives:
print context.mydoc.title_or_id()
works but I want
fred = 'mydoc' print context.fred.title_or_id()
which obviously doesn't. So I need to turn the string 'mydoc' into an object reference. Something like the dtml 'getitem'?? --
you cant get an object unless you already have an object, in this case context. how abt fred = getattr(context, 'mydoc')? also check absolute_url, restrictedTraverse in Zope Book Appendix API -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Who's got only a hammer sees the world as a nail hans augustin (software developer) hans@beehive.de beehive elektronische medien GmbH http://www.beehive.de phone: +49 30 847-82 0 fax: +49 30 847-82 299
