Re: [Zope] Do-it-yourself acquisition -- is there an easier way?

Hello,

I have python products and python scripts in which I am trying to get a certain object, by id, from higher up in the acquisition chain.

I know that this object is in a folder named 'toolbox', so the code I have is as follows:

def get_foo(self, fooID): default_foo = None for parentObj in self.aq_chain: try: toolbox = parentObj._getOb('toolbox') foo = toolbox._getOb(fooID) return foo except: continue return default_foo

urm, does the following code do the same as the above? def get_foo(self,fooID): return getattr(self.toolbox,fooID,None) cheers, Chris
