[Zope] StructuredText & LocalFS in Python Script

it seems sourceFolder holds the id of your LFS instance, ie. its a 
string, right?

you get the LFS instance with getattr(), for example:

myLFS = getattr(context, sourceFolder)
return myLFS[fileId]() # or whatever it is you want to do with the LFS

i'd stick with DTML to output structured text -- just pass the return 
value of the pyscript above to DTML, sth like: <dtml-var pyScript 
fmt=structured-text>
