[Zope] Iterating through object properties

[Kevin Carlson]

It looks like the "dir" function will do what I need it to do, but I'm
curious about something:  I can't seem to call this function inside a Python
script.  Do I have to use an external method for this function?  If so, why?
It's a python built-in and other built-in functions allow calling from
python scripts...

Thanks,

Kevin

Perhaps you can use the dir() function to get a list of attributes.
Something like:

attributes = [attr for attr in dir(obj.aq_base) if not
callable(getattr(obj.aq_base, attr))]
