Re: [Zope] Keys in Request

Hi List,

Can't figure this out - need help!

In a Script (Python), I'm testing for the presence (or more precisely the absence) of a key in the request, like so: -

request=context.REQUEST

if not request.has_key('the_key'):

The problem is that the test always fails (e.g. it acts as though the key is absent, even when it is not). If I modify the test to check for a form filed, it works fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Request is not a dictionary, it just behaves simmilar. You could use sommething like: the_key = request.get('the_key', None): if the_key ... robert
