A very simple (?) problem:
from a script I want to pass an image object to an external method.
In Python:
def test(): ... foo=open('new.gif') ... return foo ... test() <open file 'new.gif', mode 'r' at 0x80df2e0>
Thats not an Image object, its just a file object or rather its repr()
In Zope: def test(): foo=open('new.gif') return foo
I really doubt the open() part here.
This does not return an instance of the image but <img src="http://foo.bar.com" alt="" title="" height="10" width="10" border="0" />
Zope's doing some magic. How do I get the image object?
No, it just uses repr() here, which maps to the objects __str__ Method which happens to render a HTML tag for the image. if foo is an instance of zopes Image, foo has attributes like width, hight and so on - in short, its your image. It depends on what you want to do with it. Everything you need to know about these objects is in the Zopebooks API reference. Regards Tino
