[Zope-dev] Putting a list of objects into the current namespace (or something)

[Leonardo Rochael Almeida]

Look for the PathHandler product on zope.org:
http://www.zope.org/Members/NIP/PathHandler

or the AccessRule symlink recipe in zopelabs.com:
http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1003844578

Also, if you acces an URL that 'walks thru' a PythonScript, say:

http://example.com/path/to/MyPythonScript/some/extra/path

the MyPythonScript PythonScript will be called and will possess a
variable 'traverse_subpath' (depending on what you set on the 'Bindings'
tab) with the list of path segments after it's own name (in this case
['some','extra','path']

Ideas don't stay in some minds very long because they don't like
solitary confinement.
