while working with zope, i many times have the following problem:

i find a method that i can use, and the documentation (for example) says: "returns the current user".

ok, but what kind of object is it? what methods does it have?

usually i would simply call dir() or type() on the result object, but those are forbidden in zope.

You can create a small utility external method to call dir() and type() (very useful!) Jonathan
