When Adding properties to a ZClass, I came across the type Token.

What does this mean?

I wondered about this for a while too, but i think found out in the end .

a 'tokens'-field is like a 'lines'-field except the values are comma-separated instead of newline-separated..

like this :

item1,item2,item3 etc..

Almost -- it is space-delimited, not comma-delimited: "item1 item2 item3" The clincher is the implementation, in $ZOPE_HOME/lib/python/ZPublisher/Converters.py:: def field2tokens(v): if hasattr(v,'read'): v=v.read() else: v=str(v) return split(v) # this is Python's string.split() -- ========================================================= Tres Seaver tseaver@palladion.com 713-523-6582 Palladion Software http://www.palladion.com
