Not trying to nit-pick, just got hung-up on that item myself once before.

...or maybe that's not true anymore and has been allowed for...

That just means you can't traverse to it with attribute notation. For instance:: self.plone.index.html will not look for 'index.html' but rather the 'html' inside 'index'. Same goes for dashes:: self.plone.try-me will try to subtract the value of the 'me' variable from the value of 'self.plone.try'. But usually it will fail in trying to look up the first value. In such cases, you can use "subscript" notation:: self.plone['try-me'] or getattr (which doesn't use acquisition.) --jcc

That creates it with default content. To change it you'll have to call dtmlm = getattr(context, 'index.html') dtmlm.manage_edit("bla bla bla bla bla", 'Same title') # or f = open('/tmp/foobar.html') dtmlm.manage_upload(f)

Hello,

I don't have any Python experience yet, so who has a solution for this 'problem'.

Example:

I 've 3 folders a, b & c. I want to create a dtml document in a folder by a form. The folder is a variable in my form. The formis no problem, the form action is no problem. The python script to craete that document is my problem.

How can I create a DTM Document in a variable container ?

Regards,

Martin Koekenberg

Acquisition works fine irrespective of the object id. And dotted or dashed names work fine in ZPT path: tal:content="here/my-folder/index.html/title" If you use python, most objectmanagers support dictionary-like notation: tal:content="python:here['my-folder']['index.html'].title" ...and if you object doesn't support dictionary-like notation, you can use getattr: getattr(getattr(here,'my-folder'),'index.html').title And getattr performs Acquisition just fine... cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope & Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk
