Having the following Python script:
if same_type(RR,[]): return "It is a list" if same_type(RR,'abcd'): return "it is a string"
... calling "Test" with parameter value "[...]" returns "is a string"... I think, this is correct behaviour:
Python is not statically typed. The same name can be bound to different types over time. The fact, that your argument has a list as default value does not mean, that all passed in values will be lists. The parameters passed with any Web request *ARE* all strings in the first place. Zope uses various ":XXX" suffixes to the parameter names to control how these strings are converted into other datatype (see e.g. <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html> ). But the "Test" interface of "PythonScripts" does not support these conversion suffixes. I agree, this is a limitation, but not inconsistent... Dieter
