[Zope] RE: zshell question: find vs ZopeFind

Hi Jerome

I'm very happy with the following, which calls 'lsprop' on a list of
propertysheets::

    commands = {}
    for ps in propertysheets:
        commands[ps] = 'lsprop %s'%ps

    results = {}
    for key in commands.keys():
        xmlrpcstuff = {
            'path': '/', 'result_type': 'text', 'command': commands[key]
            }
        out = context.zshell(xmlrpcstuff=xmlrpcstuff)
        results[key] = out['data'].split('\n')[:-1]

It seems that zshell's 'text' output format is less rich than its 
HTML output -- the difference between 'MyShell.get_stdout()' (returns 
only property names) and 'MyShell.get_HTML()' (returns type and value 
as well). I made this change (assuming that stdout can be parsed 
tab-seperated-value-like), in case you want to consider it:
