I agree. _[_['blah']] is probably the nastiest thing I've ever seen. and then someone will start adding lambdas to it and it will be all crap to maintain from there... :( eventually the namespace will be explained and documented better, this is mainly a python/ZOPE framework idea that needs to be experienced.

[Zope] geting the type of an object from within dtml ???
Hello, I have unsuccessifully been trying to figure out ou to get the type of an object from withing html. for instance: does not return the correct type. Python is supposed to have a function type(object) that return the type, but I was not able to find a way to call it. (and I would rather prefere not to have to define an external function.). My problem seems to have to do with the Zope namespace (which model I believe is a real pain in the ass :-). Any suggestion, ideas ?
