[Zope] Re: Dynamic class from python script (?)

[Dimitris Koukis]

Tres,

thank you very much for your quick reply. Indeed it works with the
mapping parameter, but the application has a large number of files and i
was hoping that i wouldn't have to change them all ;) On the other hand
it is a simple change, i can do that with a script if there is no there
solution.

Thanx again for your help :)
