Re: [Zope] Index_html versus index.html

I assume, because preferences of Python, Zope's implementation language, have had a higher priority than Windows preferences ;-) Python does not like periods in names. That's not really true, python doesn't seem to care a lot about what's in a name. If you have periods, it just means you need things like: getattr(getattr(getattr(globals(),'x.y'), 'z.a'), 'index.html') as opposed to: x_y.z_a.index_html I think there's a strong case for index.html, especially since search engines and lots of HTTP authoring tools (eg DreamWeaver) like/need those periods to work properly. We actually use index.html quite a lot, with a dtml method as index_html which solves the problems: dtml-var index.html neat, huh? ;-) cheers, Chris ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

That's not really true, python doesn't seem to care a lot about what's in a name. A name is a well defined lexical entity in Python: a sequence of letters, '_' and digits, starting with a letter or '_'. If you have periods, it just means you need things like: getattr(getattr(getattr(globals(),'x.y'), 'z.a'), 'index.html') What you want to say: attributes can be referenced with more general entities than names, e.g. arbitrary strings. But: Try to define a method(!) "index.html" in a class. I know, it is possible. But it is not natural.
