Does Zope allos an external method to modify a dictionary object that is passed to the external method via the REQUEST object.
Zope does not restrict an External Method in any way.
... items_list = [{'element1':'element1value', 'element2':'element2value','element3': element3value},{....},....]
I am getting trouble with with this as any time I try to modify any dictionary from items_list, items_list[n] I do get an error similar to:
line 120, in agregaItemDicts def agregaItemLista2(self,item,REQUEST): File "/usr/local/Zope-2.7.4/lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py", line 1502, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError, key AttributeError: __setitem__
Usually, this means that the object looks like a dictionary but is in fact a different object. However, your traceback is weird: It seems to indicate that "HTTPRequest.HTTPRequest.__getattr__('__setitem__') was called. However, "HTTPRequest.HTTPRequest" does have a "__setitem__" attribute. Therefore, Python will never call "__getattr__" automatically to resolve "__setitem__". Something else must have called "__getattr__" inadequately. The upper part of traceback (which you dropped) should tell you where this calls happens. -- Dieter
