I have a container ZClass Person. Person has a (string) property CurrentPosition which gives the id of a ZClass instance contained in Person.
list = [] for person in self.objectValues('Person'): position = _.getitem(person.CurrentPosition) list.append(person.LastName, position.anyProperty))
I think the question really comes down to: how does one achieve <dtml-with name> in a pythonMethod?
One doesn't. Instead one uses local variables, as you did with 'person'. Your solution is almost complete, actually, and should work if you replace '_.getitem(person.CurrentPosition)' with one of the following (I'm not sure which, you'll need to experiment): person[person.CurrentPosition] getattr(person, person.CurrentPosition) person.aq_acquire(person.CurrentPostion) Sorry I can't be more specific. In general, though, any place you would use dtml-with in DTML, you set up a local variable in PythonMethods. Cheers, Evan @ 4-am & digicool
