[Zope] calling an Python builtin function

[Felipe Alvarez Harnecker]

Hi Zopistas,

it's a pain looking to variables defined in a form such as checkboxes
that can be a string if one is selected or a sequence if many are.

to solve this problem i'd like to do something like:

<dtml-let checkbox="list(checkbox)">
...
...
</dtml-let>

That is, calling the list function of Python on checkbox.


But that doesn't work, neither <dtml-let checkbox="_.list(checkbox)">

Beside of this, is there a way to test if foo is a string or a
sequence or whatever ??

Thanks.
