[Zope] External Methods

[Phil Harris]

Wouldn't it be better to pass in self?

As in:

def my_method(self,REQUEST=None):
  '''my_method interpreting *REQUEST*.form.'''
  if REQUEST is None:
    REQUEST=self.REQUEST # safety_valve in case you forget to pass in
REQUEST
  form= REQUEST.form # this is a dictionary containing form
                     # variables and associated values

| Your method:
|
| def my_method(REQUEST):
|   '''my_method interpreting *REQUEST*.form.'''
|   form= REQUEST.form # this is a dictionary containing form
|                      # variables and associated values
|   .....
|
|
| If you like, you can directly use it as form action.
| But probably, you will wrap it into a DTML method:
|
| DTML wrapper:
|
|   .....
|   <dtml-call "my_method(REQUEST)">
|   .....
