[Zope] PHP style variable variables in Python?

[Casey Duncan]

If all of the images are in one folder, then the choice function of the 
random module will work. For example:

from random import choice
random_id = choice(context.objectIds('Image'))
return context[random_id]

This assumes that the current context is a folder (or folderish object 
at least). I use objectIds above (instead of objectValues) to prevent 
every image in the folder from being loaded into memory when this is called.
