[Zope] Convert URL to object

[Phil Harris]

Hi Itamar,

Well I have done this with an external method.

Something on the lines of (untested in this form)

def urlToobject(self, url=None):
	string.replace(url,'/','.')
	return eval(url)

You migh need a bit more than that depending on whether you need to get it
from the root or from a specific dir etc.

But something on these lines should work.

HTH

Nope - that doesn't work.
