Maybe I am really missing something here, but for some time, I have been trying to figure out why when I pass a list to a python script, it becomes a sequence of characters. When I duplicate the process within the interpreter, it works as I expect it to. An example to demonstrate what I am talking about:
Interpreter test-
listDef = [1,2,3,4,5] def foo(x): ... for member in x: .... print member ... foo(listDef) 1 2 3 4 5
In Zope, if I create the equivalent of the foo function in a python script, passing a list in the parameter field, I get the following: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 You do not pass a list here but a string and you iterate over the bytes of the string.
When you would pass a true list and not just a string that looks like (the string representation of) a list, then it would work as you expect. Dieter
