What version of zope are you running? Can you edit
Shared.DC.Scripts.Bindings, at line 286, and see what is the code
saying there. In Zope 2.9.6 the only occurence of "other" inside
Bindings.py is:

    def _getTraverseSubpath(self):
        # Utility for bindcode.
        if hasattr(self, 'REQUEST'):
            return self.REQUEST.other.get('traverse_subpath', [])
        else:
            return []

So, I assume for some very strange reason other is applied to
something which is a string. Have you tried to add an

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

just before the return, and inspect what is going on there? Of course,
you've to run your zope instance in foreground...

I suggest you to check python pages on pdb, and on how to debug things
with zope debug.
