i got it finally - jo
def test(self,REQUEST=None):
""" test """
context = REQUEST.PARENTS[0]
return context.absolute_url()
the reason why:
in another project i used a python script which returns a specific property:
if the property in the current object has some specific value, lets say "--"
then the property is looked up in the parent object (recursively) till it
comes to
a special "root" object.
i use this to let users choose if they want to inherit the property from the
parent object - this is good for meta-tags in html
note that i dont want to let users delete/create properties, and zope only
aquires the
property from the parent if its not there.
now i want to include this function into my python product
so e needed a context object
its not implementet till now, but i think it works with the function above
cu bernd

No amount of aquisition trickery will give a method access to the dtml
context, which I *think* is what was asked for.....

Like DTMLMethods, all arguments get passed in the 'context'.

Context-based programming is usually wrong, but not always. If you
explain what you are trying to achieve then we may be able to point
out a better alternative.
(some early drafts of the Zope book encouraged context-based
programing in scenarious where it was quite dangerous; Im not sure if
this is currently true)
