Hello, I am trying to build a simple framework that is going to use "events" to callback into higher level logic. Specifically, I am creating a "Text Field" that represents an HTML form field. Its validate() method needs to call whatever method is specified in its validateHandler property (which is a string). My validate() method is a PythonMethod. Before I can call the event handler, I need to get ahold of the method object. I have tried all of the following and gotten nothing but KeyErrors/AttributeErrors: _.getitem(self.validationHandler) _[self.validationHandler] self[self.validationHandler] self.getitem(self.validationHandler) getattr(self, self.validationHandler) etc. It is important to note that the method I am looking for, the one named by the string property, is not defined in the field class itself. I need to rely on acquisition to find it; it is defined in one of the containers of the field object. I know this has to be simple; I must be missing something. Anyone care to share some clue? --Jeff --- Jeff K.
