Not sure if I understood your question correctly but here's how to get an object from a path splitted = '/folder/subfolder/obj'.split('/') object = context # or 'self' if this is an external method for id in splitted: object = getattr(object, id) return object # should return the 'obj' object Maybe there are fancier methods to do this all in one go with some zope builtin method.

Hi,
I'm looking for a method to do the following thing:
I have a variable called path with content '/test/abc/defg'. If I want to call the object behind this path from an object in an other path which can't acquire the Folder abc or abject defg, which is the function looking for ?
my object is in path /test/xyz/ and has id t and is a PythonScript
def t (self, path): # path is /test/abc/defg or ['test','abc','defg']
how to get the object behind the path ?
Thanks Dirks
