Hi,

I'm affraid that I missed the start of this thread, as I only recently joined. For me:

for catitem in self.Catalog.searchResults(meta_type='ContactItem', Login=username):
obj=self.Catalog.getobject(catitem.data_record_id_)

Seems to work just fine. self finds the catalogue by acquisition and from there it is just like python in a zope script.

Douwe

Subject: Re: [Zope] Search ZCatalog from Python code

My ZCatalog ("Catalog") is placed on the root folder. So, there is the need to move back to retrieve and use it.
Chris' snippet for the container object obviously doesn't work. Any help / suggestion?
Thanks

Inside a class of a Zope Product:

container = "self.aq_inner.aq_parent"
context = self
