It depends upon where you are and what you are writing in but a simple obj = getattr(container, id) will work if you are in the same folder and in a Python Script. -- Andy McKay Agmweb Consulting http://www.agmweb.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "Drew Nichols" <drew@mena.org.au> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 5:46 PM Subject: [Zope] Object reference from string

How do i get an object id if i know the str(id) I can do an objectValues call and the if strOfId in objectValues but it seems a long way around

Thanks
