Hi All, One of the things I like about python is introspection. Zope does seem to support most features, but I run into some problems. I want to create a method that prints the items in a folder in tabular format. On each row, I want the title of the object in the folder and some properties. These properties should either be direct properties or methods. My code: 01 if context.hasProperty(propname): 02 return context.getProperty(propname) 03 else: 04 if hasattr(context,propname) and callable(getattr(context,propname)): 05 return context[propname]() 06 else: 07 return defaultvalue I first check whether context has the property requested, if so, I return it with getProperty. Than, if it has the property as attribute and the property is callable, there is a method and I call that (the kind of methods I look for do not require paramaters). If nothing of the kind can be found, I return the defaultvalue. Now, if I pass 'absolute_url' as propname, this works as a dream. But if I pass getParent, a method I created in the base class of the object where context was derived from, the thing crashes with 'Resource not found'. Debuging points out that line 04 goes okay, ie. it can find the property as attribute and determines that it is indeed callable, but the actual calling then fails with a resource not found. So, what am I doing wrong? Is there another way to call a method of a zope object if you only have the name of the method in a string variable? Any help is appreciated, Douwe
