I have the following little snippet of pt code: <form action="edit_list"> <select name="listname"> <option tal:repeat="item container/enumerate_lists" tal:content="item">list</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Edit"> </form> container/enumerate_lists is a ZSQL method that performs a simple query: select listname from mailinglists All I want to do is display the listnames as form option values. I can't figure out what attributes "item" has. The dir() builtin isn't exposed as far as I can tell. I've been wandering all over the Zope Book for about 20 minutes and have so far been unable to find the attributes associated with the "item" object. Where should I be looking? Is there a rough Zope equivalent to >>> dir("abc") ['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getitem__', '__getslice__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__le__', '__len__', '__lt__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__repr__', '__rmul__', '__setattr__', '__str__', 'capitalize', 'center', 'count', 'decode', 'encode', 'endswith', 'expandtabs', 'find', 'index', 'isalnum', 'isalpha', 'isdigit', 'islower', 'isspace', 'istitle', 'isupper', 'join', 'ljust', 'lower', 'lstrip', 'replace', 'rfind', 'rindex', 'rjust', 'rstrip', 'split', 'splitlines', 'startswith', 'strip', 'swapcase', 'title', 'translate', 'upper', 'zfill'] or >>> print "".capitalize.__doc__ S.capitalize() -> string Return a copy of the string S with only its first character capitalized. ?
