Re: [Zope] how to get info about an object (dir/type)

while working with zope, i many times have the following problem:

i find a method that i can use, and the documentation (for example) says: "returns the current user".

ok, but what kind of object is it? what methods does it have?

usually i would simply call dir() or type() on the result object, but those are forbidden in zope.

"DocFinder" can help you. You might need a small script that obtains the object you are interested in and than calls "DocFinder" with it. <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope> -- Dieter
