DTML <dtml-var ZopeTime> == <dtml-var "ZopeTime()"> Python Script timeobject = context.ZopeTime() day = timeobject.strftime('%A') Hope this helps! peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Blake" <mike.blake@cellnetwork.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2001 1:56 PM Subject: [Zope] ZopeTime() in python script ...

Hi!

I have a messy dtml block that returns a yyyymmdd date string using zope time:

# <dtml-var "(ZopeTime()).year()" # ><dtml-if # expr="(ZopeTime()).month()<10" # >0<dtml-var "(ZopeTime()).month()" # ><dtml-else # ><dtml-var "(ZopeTime()).month()" # ></dtml-if # ><dtml-if # expr="(ZopeTime()).day()<10" # >0<dtml-var "(ZopeTime()).day()" # ><dtml-else # ><dtml-var "(ZopeTime()).day()" # ></dtml-if>

This works, BUT I would like to forget the dtml and just write it in python. Something like this?:

# str="" # str = str + ZopeTime().year() # if ZopeTime().month()<10: # str = str + "0" # str = str + ZopeTime().month() # if ZopeTime().month()<10: # str = str + "0" # str = str + ZopeTime().day() # return str

But this gives an error: Error Type: NameError Error Value: ZopeTime

I have this as a python script object and although it would return a string ok, I get an error when trying to access ZopeTime().

I am currently losing my mind trying different arguments and import statements, but getting nowhere fast. How do I access the variables and methods (those that would normally be available to a dtml method) in a python script?

thanks, mike
