[Zope] POSKeyError ... uh-oh

[Robert Rottermann]

As I said in a former post, this can be done from a running zope with a mere
python script.
Nothing involved that needs an external script or something as esoteric like
accessing zope from a python prompt..
All you need to know is the id of the broken object which you (probably) can
find by something like:
folder = getattr(context, "theFolder")
brokenObjs = folder.objectItems('broken')
...
If objectItems does not let you ask for 'broken' you can at least list the
ids, and make an intelligent guess which one it is.
