[Zope] way the acquired a path

[Peter Bengtsson]

Not sure if I understood your question correctly but here's how to get an 
object from a path

splitted = '/folder/subfolder/obj'.split('/')
object = context # or 'self' if this is an external method 
for id in splitted:
    object = getattr(object, id)

return object # should return the 'obj' object


Maybe there are fancier methods to do this all in one go with some zope 
builtin method.
