Hi all,

Couple of quickies...

1) How do I reference a Script (Python) from an External Method ? I have an external method which needs to call a Script (Python), both of which are in the same folder - following is my external method - the " c = ..." line is wrong, but I don't know how to fix it!

def export(self):

request = self.REQUEST response = self.REQUEST.RESPONSE

c = self.aq_parent.getClients();

Try it like c = self.getClients() The "self" in an External Method can be used like "context" in a Script (Python).

2) What exactly does 'container' reference ? How is it different to aq_parent ? Can someone give a couple of examples of usage of them ?

self.aq_parent is the context's parent in the acquisition chain. So it involves the calling context as well as the containers, depending on how the method is called. container in a script means the container where the script actually lives, so it's not affected by context at all. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"
