  Thanks for the help, I actually figured it out.  It turned out that
  portal.portal_groups.getGroupById(staff).getGroupUsers() was the
  solution.  However, the getGroupUsers() function returns a list of
  users, but not as strings.  So I had to convert the entire call with
  str() in order to run a comparison.
  
  So in the end this is how I achieved what I needed:
  
  portal.portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getId() not in \
  str(portal.portal_groups.getGroupById(staff).getGroupUsers())
 
 The 'getGroupUsers' is not a good idea in a CMF environment. You should 
 use the methods from the group tools. Like the ones I mentioned by name. 
 One of them even does exactly what you want::
 
context.portal_groups.getGroupById('group1').getGroupMemberIds()

 I'm trying to work on a function call using Python that will list the 
 users of any specified group using the function portal_groups.
 
 I've been able to successfully do this the opposite way by getting the
  
  
 users groups via portal_membership:
 
 portal.portal_membership.getAuthenticatedMember().getGroups()
 
 Which will return all groups this user is associated with.
 
 So I've been testing using portal_groups with function calls similar
  
  to 
  
 this:
 
 portal.portal_groups.getGroupById(staff).getUsers()
 
 Where staff is the name of the group. This almost does what I need, 
 but not quite close enough because it lists all groups and all users.
  
  
 Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated!
  
  
  It acquires 'getUsers' from somewhere, I guess.
  
  Group objects have 'getGroupMemberIds' and 'getGroupMembers' methods.
  You can see this in Products.GroupUserFolder.GroupDataTool.GroupData.
  the Products.GroupUserFolder.interfaces.portal_groupdata is a bit
  cleaner, but seems a little behind the times, as it's missing
  'getGroupMemberIds'.
  
  Note that this isn't a good topic for zope-dev, but more for
  plone-users.
