Ok, knowing more about what's going on, now, I figured I would send an update to the list and hope it jars someone's memory.
Here's what I am trying to do:
I have a ZClass, MyTestClass. MyTestClass has two methods: method1, and method2. There are two other methods, showMethods and showMethods2, but they are only needed for the purpose of demonstration.
I created an instance of MyTestClass with an id of 'test'.
d>
showMethods (a DTMLMethod) is defined as:
<dtml-var standard_html_header> <p> method1 = <dtml-var "_.hasattr(this(), 'method1')"><br> method2 = <dtml-var "_.hasattr(this(), 'method2')"><br> nullmethod = <dtml-var "_.hasattr(this(), 'nullmethod')"> </p>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>
and, when invoked on my 'test' instance, returns:
method1 = 1 method2 = 1 nullmethod = 0
We're cookin'. Now, I need to get the same results with a PythonMethod. showMethods2 (a PythonMethod) is defined as:
print _.hasattr(self, 'method1') print _.hasattr(self, 'method2') print _.hasattr(self, 'nullmethod') return printed
which, when invoked on my 'test' instance, returns:
0 0 0
I have tried every permutation of Python code I can, and none work as the DTML Method does. Somebody? Anybody? :-)
hmmm... what are the args to the method and how are you calling it? from your spelling i assume you mean a web PythonMethod.. if your zclass is an objectmanager why not <dtml-var "'method1' in self.objectIds(['DTML Methods'])"> anyways, i tried your example and it worked fine for me. i tried it with a zclass whose only base class was dtml doc. my pythonmethod accepted the object as an arg. body return hasattr(ob, 'method1') returned the correct results. 1 Kapil
