[Zope] (no subject)

[Chris McDonough]

This is a job for __bobo_traverse__ (yes, I know, unlikely name, but
what has now become Zope used to be named Bobo).

Without using __bobo_traverse__, which is defined as a method on the
object which you access via traversal, you can't easily use "extra" URL
elements as parameters to pass to the object.

An sample __bobo_traverse__ method:

def __bobo_traverse__(self, REQUEST, name):
    """ 'name' here is the remainder of the URL """
    return self._data[name]

It might be easier in your case if you're not used to python to
construct your own Zope objects in which you can place a
__bobo_traverse__ method to just use query string arguments instead,
which are available through the REQUEST object.
