There is currently no such method, but you could easily create one:
import string
class ZCatalog: .... def isObjectCataloged(self,object): uid= string.join(object.getPhysicalPath(),'/') return self._catalog.uids.has_key(uid)
Perhaps that could go in the collector? I am not sure:
The catalog is quite flexible. It allows the caller of "catalog_object" to specify the uid under which the object should be cataloged. Only, if the uid is not provided (probably the normal use), it is computed from "getPhysicalPath". Of course, if it has been provided, the code above will break. Thus, "isObjectCataloged" is less general than "catalog_object". On the other hand, "getObject" will break too, when non-standard "uid"s are used. Thus, maybe, the "uid" feature should be scrapped.
