[Zope] Acquiring/accessing a dotted name

[Andrew Athan]

Ok, 50 minutes after I started looking I couldn't find the answer, so I
emailed the group.  51 minutes after I started looking I found the answer in
the "Advanced Scripting" area of the zope book, but not in relation to
Python (Script) objects -- rather, in relation to python: attributes in TAL.

I was trying too hard.  A simple getattr(context,'viewBasket.html')() works
just fine.

Now ... any comments on idiomatic usage?

I have a Python (Script) object which needs to return the rendering of a
page template called 'foo.html'

return context.foo.html()

will obviously not work.  What will?

I have tried various forms of the aq_acquire() call, but context does not
seem to implement this.  Importing the Acquisition module is not
allowed--and it doesn't feel right to have to create a special security
context for it.

I must be missing something simple here, and yet it is incredibly difficult
to find the answer I need from the various documentation I've looked at.

Thanks
