[Zope] Zope object Property name

[Casey Duncan]

One possibility would be to use the meta_type. I would not write this in =
DTML=20
though, use a python script like:

for ob in context.objectValues():
    if ob.meta_type =3D=3D 'Folder':
       ..do folderish things..
    else:
       ..do non-folderish things..

Another possibility is checking for the attribute "isPrincipiaFolderish",=
 but=20
acquisition will likely get in your way with that, giving you false=20
positives. Supposably aq_explicit is the cure for this, but I have not fo=
und=20
it to be reliable:

for ob in context.objectValues():
    if getattr(ob.aq_explicit, 'isPrincipiaFolderish', 0):
       ..do folderish things..
    else:
       ..do non-folderish things..

YMMV ;^)

hth,

Casey
