According to the zope book 2.6 you can also check for the existence of an object with the following python script, where "updateInfo" is the object you are looking for: updateInfo = getattr(context, "updateInfo", None) if updateInfo is not None: updateInfo(color="brown", pattern="spotted") else: # complain about missing script hth, Mike

I believe you are looking for 'restrictedTraverse'

I don't know, do I? Just kidding, I already looked at restrictedTraverse, but it sais that you traverse the path from the object on which the method was called. This sounds like path would have to be a relative path and not a full URL. What I have is the full URL like http://... OK, I could lea the protocol and the server which would leave an absolute path. But I would have to convert that to a relative path right? Actually I was trying to get around converting the absolute path to a relative path, but that doesn't seem possible.
