[Zope] small problem in external methods

Another small Zope/Python problem I just can't seem to nail, no matter what docs I read. In one of my external methods, I have the name of a subfolder in a string variable. How can I reference properties of this subfolder? ie this seems like it should work, but doesn't: def example(self): foldername = 'fred' subfolders = self.objectItems(['Folder']) return subfolders[foldername].title Ideas? -- ### Martin Dougiamas -- Internet Agent "...The Eighties, ### Centre for Educational Advancement the Nineties, ### http://cea.curtin.edu/staff/martin the Naughties."
