Sure, you could use something itemValues() to get a list of items in a folder, then some combination of: propertyItems(): Return a list of (id, property) tuples. propertyIds(): Returns a list of property ids. getProperty(id, d=None): Get the property id, returning the optional second argument or None if no such property is found. to put the properties into a dictionary for each item in the folder.

As this is for a public website eval doesn't seem to be the best choice. For an example, I want to get this list of dictionaries: prop = ( { "id":"first_entry", "title":"first_title" }, { "id":"second_entry", "title":"second_title" }, ) It should be possible, that this information is entered in a human readable way as a string property. Any suggestions?
