I just set up the same situation and it worked for me... (ie I get YES back) My guess is that you aren't returning a list. My get_list() looked like: return ['test','test_str','yes'] -----Original Message----- From: Aseem Mohanty [mailto:aseem@neurobehavioralsystems.com] Sent: Tuesday, 18 June 2002 2:19 a.m. To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] another DTML ques I have a PyScript that returns a list of strings Somehow I am unable to do the following: <dtml-let ll="get_list()"> <dtml-if "'test_str' in ll"> YES <dtml-else> NO </dtml-if> </dtml-let> I know that 'test_str' is in the list. The if test fails always. What am I doing wrong??
