Re: [Zope] External method default arg weirdness

Paul Winkler writes:

This is with Zope 2.2.2. If I give a default argument to the external method, and call it from a dtml method, the default gets used even if I pass the argument.

Example: Try creating two external methods and calling them like this from standard_html_footer.

<dtml-var "my_ext_method1(_['id'])"> <dtml-var "my_ext_method2(_['id'])">

Here are the two external method definitions:

def my_ext_method1(id): return "<br>%s" % id

def my_ext_method2(id="oops"): return "<br>%s" % id

Anybody else get this? Why does it do that? I know this only, if the first parameter is called "self".

We use default parameters regularly (in Zope 2.1.6) and they work as expected. Dieter
