Good day all, Using Zope 2.7.6 I'm trying to use the getPhysicalRoot() function. In a rather large site we have a folder called 'functions' placed in root. This folder contains a formatting function 'far' I want to use in some other folder. But in the path from root to the place I the function to be called, I have another 'function' folder, with local functionality. When calling 'context.functions.far()', it fails to acquire the far function. Which is explainable. My plan was to call it directly: 'root.functions.far()', but 'root' does not exist in the zope (python) script. if I use root = context.getPhysicalRoot() I am forced to reenter my Zope username and password and will not get permission to call the getPhysicalRoot function. What am I doing wrong? What can I do to make the getPhysicalRoot function available? Friendly greetings, Robert-Reinder Nederhoed The Hague, The Netherlands --

Looks like the method is restricted. VerboseSecurity will tell you why. -aj

For unknown reasons, "getPhysicalRoot" is private. The standard workaround looks like this: root = container.restrictedTraverse('/') Of course, it is stupid to make "getPhysicalRoot" private when it is so easy to access the root anyway... -- Dieter
Solved. Thanks for the reactions. It works! My current code looks like this now: #force function in '/root/functions' far = context.restrictedTraverse('/').functions.far x = foo() print far(value=x)
Of course, it is stupid to make "getPhysicalRoot" private when it is so easy to access the root anyway... Why not just add 'root' to the script vocabulary?

If I recall, Casey Duncan suggested putting a python script in *root* named ROOT, e.g. #module ROOT return container This is aquirable from anywhere else in Zope and is easy to remember. David
Please file a bug report to make getPhysicalPath() publilc. I agree with Dieter that it is dumb to make it private if you can get the root using restrictedTraverse()). -aj --On 28. Juli 2005 22:22:42 +0200 Robert-Reinder Nederhoed <rr@nederhoed.com> wrote:

If I would want to increase the script vocabulary, I would add "request". "root" is very rarely used... -- Dieter

+1 (if this ever becomes a vote) The PageTemplates and Python Scripts should meet somewhere and become more identical in how their zope magic works. Just!! for the sake of not confusing beginners.
