Although '2002' is a legal Zope id, it is not a legal identifier in Pytho=
n.=20
Identifiers must start with a letter. To get around this, use the getitem=
=20
notation:

context['2002'].august.blah.blah

Same thing, use the getitem notation:

context[year][month].birthday.manage_addFile()

Where year and month are variables.
