Right.....
But why would documents of exactly the same Zope type and content-type behave differently???
I don't know, perhaps all the objects your external method is chewing (I'm assuming an EM here) are not all objects if the same type, it's happened to me... My wrapped object suggestion may not be the case, but that's what it looks like from your traceback. What might be useful is to fire up Zope in DeBug mode and wrap your code with something like: try: pass # your code here... except: import pdb pdb.set_trace() When an exception gets raised, you'll find your Zope in the python debugger waiting for input (all other Zope services will be locked out, BTW). Now you can inspect your object to see what it really is: pdb> p obj <DTMLMethod instance at 8403ed8> pdb> type(obj) <extension class Acquisition.ImplicitAcquirerWrapper at 400fa3b0> pdb> etc... at this point it's kinda fun (in my sick and twisted world) to play around with the obj in question, examining all of its various aq_ properties, like aq_self, aq_parent, aq_inner, aq_inContextOf, and aq_uncle.
These were all File with a type of text/xml, so why the difference???
Not sure. -Michel
