"_.getitem(string)" converts a string into an object.

Probably, you will not get a "zclass type".
But such a type would probably not have a "manage_addFile" method
anyway.

Do you mean "Z Instance" rather than "zclass type"?

To "convert" a string to an object, you use the getitem() function.

## example 1:
Your: 
#returns:
Your: Peter Bengtsson

## example 2:

Your: 
# returns:
Your: Peter Bengtsson

There's more

You could also do this:

 or 

The different between _['foo'] and _.getitem('foo') is tricky.
