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

If it is indeed a DTML Document, then "this()" should reference
this document. If it is a DTML Method, then "this()" will
reference the methods 'client', usually the methods parent.

No.
I am not yet familiar with PythonMethods and what binding
they define automatically. Obviously, you have
"context", "m_self" and "self".
My older PythonMethods installed seem to support only "self",
but I am not sure.

I would expect, that "context.this()" has the highest chance
of success, maybe "self.this()".

Note, that "foo_html" must be a DTML Document not a DTML Method!


 > There *must* be a way to do this.
There is none for DTML Methods (other than modifying the code).
