I am querying two catalogs seperately, each returns its results as a LazyMap object. I now want to combine the two result sets, but when I do that they become a LazyCat object (which doesn't work with the Plone Batch scripts I am using)
Is there anyway to turn the LazyCat object into a LazyMap, or combine the two LazyMaps without creating a LazyCat?
Any answers, suggestions, or stabs in the dark welcome
It is impossible. A "LazyMap" consists of a function and a sequence. The result is the sequence (computed lazily) of applying the function on each element of the sequence. Two "LazyMap"s could only be combined to form a single "LazyMap" when their function is identical (in this case, you would concatenate the sequences and retain the function). In your case, the function are (the same) methods of different catalogs. They are not identical. You could work around this by modifying both the function and the sequences. But, there should be an easier solution. Dieter
