Sounds like you want: for action in things_to_do: func=getattr(context, action) func() ----- Original Message ----- From: <Jason.Jones@awl.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Friday, February 23, 2001 1:49 PM Subject: [Zope] How do I use variable variables in pythonscript?

I would like to do something like the following:

<dtml-var "_[getform('do')]">

where getform('do') returns the name of the method that is then called, but I want to do it from a python script, that is, given a variable or a function, I would like to evaluate what it stands for, for instance:

for action in things_to_do: context.action()

where things_to_do is a list of names for method calls that I want to execute in the python script's context.

Is there a way to do this? What about something like the python script equivalent of the dtml:

<dtml-var "_[getform('do')+'_view']">

Thanks,

Jason
