Re: [Zope] PHP style variable variables in Python?

Michael LaPera writes:

I am creating a simple Python script that displays a random image (image1, image2, image3....). All I want to do do is generate a random number which is concatenated to the end of the context attribute similar to this example in PHP:

$randomNumber = ***some random number*** return context.{'image'.$randomNumber}

Is this possible (and easy) in Python? It is.

It does not use special syntax but a built in function: "getattr". It looks like: return getattr(context,'image' + `randomNumber`) "+" is concatenation for strings and "`...`" is string representation. Dieter
