[Zope] Generating lists of dicionaries from properties

[Meilicke, Scott]

Sure, you could use something itemValues() to get a list of items in a
folder, then some combination of:

propertyItems():
Return a list of (id, property) tuples.

propertyIds():
Returns a list of property ids.

getProperty(id, d=None):
Get the property id, returning the optional second argument or None if no
such property is found.

to put the properties into a dictionary for each item in the folder.

Subject: [Zope] Generating lists of dicionaries from properties


Hello,

I'm looking for a way to generate lists of dicionaries from string 
properties. As this is for a public website eval doesn't seem to be the 
best choice.

For an example, I want to get this list of dictionaries:

  prop = ( { "id":"first_entry", "title":"first_title" },
           { "id":"second_entry", "title":"second_title" },
         )

It should be possible, that this information is entered in a human readable 
way as a string property.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

 Andreas
