Paul,
Thanks for the suggestion. I had thought of something like that, and my
sequence is short, but the problem is I don't know how long it is ahead
of time. The actual sequence length is stored in a property. I guess I
could brute force it like this:
<!--#if "slen == 2"-->
<!--#call "REQUEST.set('foo'.['1','2'])"-->
<!--#elif "slen == 3"-->
<!--#call "REQUEST.set('foo','['1','2','3'])"-->
...
<!--#/if-->
Before I finished writing this followup, I did some browsing thru the Python
book (definite newbie here, also) and found exactly what I was looking for:
range(start?, end, step?)
So, what I want to do is:
<!--#in "range(slen)"-->
// some stuff
<!--/#in-->
I notice that range() is not in the list of attributes for '_'. Is there any
special reason for this? If it was there, I could do this:
<!--#in "_.range(slen)"-->
Will it work to add "range" to the list of built-ins in line 185 of
lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py (line number matches version 1.50)?
I've redirected this followup to Zope-dev, as I think I'm talking more about
development issues now, than a simple language quesiton.

} Here's a brute-force way to do it, as long as the list of items was
} short:
}
} <!--#call "REQUEST.set('foo',['1',

}
} <!--#in foo-->
