it seems sourceFolder holds the id of your LFS instance, ie. its a string, right? you get the LFS instance with getattr(), for example: myLFS = getattr(context, sourceFolder) return myLFS[fileId]() # or whatever it is you want to do with the LFS i'd stick with DTML to output structured text -- just pass the return value of the pyscript above to DTML, sth like: <dtml-var pyScript fmt=structured-text> hth peter.

Dear List,

having the following objects:

sourceFolder points to a LocalFS-Instance, fileId points to a file in the LocalFS-Instance, and convert_nonascii_1(string) is just a method to exchange some text in string.

in DTML I can do the following:

<dtml-var "convert_nonascii_1(_.str(_.getitem(sourceFolder, 1)[fileId]))" fmt=structured-text>

But how is it done in Python Script?

if myLFSname is the name of the LocalFS-Instance and file.txt the name of a file in the LocalFS-Instance this works fine:

context.myLFSname['file.txt']()

But as soon as I try to do it with sourceFolder and fileId, I get only errors even if the Script can resolve both. Does anybody know why? And how do I use structured Text in Python Script as in DTML: <dtml-var my Var fmt=structured-text>

Thanks a lot for your help,

Elena
