I am using a form to upload a file object: <tr><th>EEG File</th> <td><INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="file_name" WIDTH=60></td></tr> When the form is submitted, the REQUEST object file_name is passed to a Python Script which adds it to the file system: folder.manage_addFile(id='', file=file_name) return getattr(file_name, 'filename') This works fine. My question is on the getattr part. I got code from some example, long lost to me now, and can grok how it works, but I am having trouble finding suitable documentation. For example, what are the other attributes of file_name besides 'filename'. I tried '__dict__' to get a listing but got an error, so I suspect this is one of the protections of the Zope 'getattr'. Could someone point me to some reference documentation that would have this? Thanks, John Hunter
