[Zope] get an object based on URL???

[Chris McDonough]

Geez, a while back we had a question about this from somebody else which
Evan Simpson solved (before he worked for DC, back when he was a lounge
singer).

You may want to search the mail archives for messages between me, Evan
Simpson, and errrrr.... somebody else... wait here it is...

Look at that whole thread.  Then read about _.string.split (ie. Python's
'string.split' function).

You may want to rethink your way of doing this, however.  Are you sure you
need to use a URL-style string to reference the object?
