I cannot remember having seen any other way of doing it. I expect that better days will be here with v.2.3 as we will get Python Methods, or whatever they are called. >I am also still looking for example code using manage_delObjects.

My query is really more general though, that was just an example, I need to know what the generally accepted method is for transferring values through the code (i.e between namespaces) IMHO as far as Zope documentation goes, the thing that is really lacking is a document introducing people to how to program in Zope, explaining the overlaps between Python and Zope/DTML and explaining the different syntaxes for calling variables, methods etc? There are a lot of references on specific functions, methods etc but no general overview. Maybe the forthcoming Zope book will address this better. I am also still looking for example code using manage_delObjects.
