[Zope-dev] PythonMethods: Can't Slice context.REQUEST.PARENTS

The only information about your caller that you can get is
the contents of their namespace.  So, in the final release,
you would be able to bind the caller's namespace to "_" and
write _.this().id.  That requires a change to Zope, though,
so it doesn't work yet.  You *could* work around this by
explicitly passing the namespace (or this(), for that
matter).
