[Zope] Single item list

Zope-o-rama's I have a list object called 'things', and sometimes it only has one object in it. <!--#in things--> <!-#var sequence-item--> <!--#/in--> returns ['my_list_item'], instead of my_list_item. How can I strip the [', '], off either end? All my best, -- Jason Spisak webmaster@hiretechs.com
