[Zope] call an object from within a product

[Benjamin Buffereau]

Thank you Dieter,

I had a look at your Dispatcher product, but I obviously lack knowledge of the
internal zope machinery to understand what you're exactly doing. I tried to
copy/paste your "mapply infrastructure" in an External Method, but I get a
SystemError: "Failed to import class _missing_name from module __main__".

I didn't think that just get the value of an object would be such a mess. I
think I'll try this ugly solution: 

object_value = urllib.urlopen("localhost:8080"+object_path).read()

Benjamin.
