[Zope] Wrapping ZSQL method for XML-RPC access

[peter sabaini]

use the magic of python, specifically the getattr() builtin :-)

ie. you'd use for example

zsql = getattr(context, 'getSalesmen')
# 'getSalesmen' could be any string you want
# now call your zsql method in the usual way
rs = zsql(param='val')
# do whatever youre going to do to your salesmen
