From the Zope Quick Reference:

getitem(name,flag)
                  Lookup a name in the namespace. If the value is callable 
and the flag is true, then the result of calling the value is returned, 
otherwise the value is returned. flag defaults to false. 


Well worth keeping a copy on hand, IMHO. (o8

Have a better one,
