Re: [Zope] How do I eval a variable within the acquisition path?

I apologize for the question (the zope area of my brain must need coffee) but I can't find the answer in the zope book or in any of the scripts posted to the zope cookbook.

I want to use a variable in a acquisition path.

So for example, from the zope book on scripts, imagine that vaccinateplan() printed out a specific animals vaccination plan.

Now instead of saying 'LargeAnimals' and 'hippo' like so:

print context.Vet.LargeAnimals.hippo.vaccinateplan()

I want to do like this:

category = REQUEST.form['category'] animal = REQUEST.form['animal']

print context.Vet.category.animal.vaccinateplan() print context.Vet[category] or print getattr(context.Vet, category, 'some default value') hth robert
