[Zope] python script ques

[Aseem Mohanty]

Thanks Michal,

I am still kind of new at Zope so did not use Catalogs. I however found 
that the " hsattr(container, object) " function seems to work out fine. 
Had to search in the source for it but found it. I will try the Catalog 
option and see how it works out.

Thanks again,
AM
