IMO TALES should solve this for itself by introducing an if/then/else expression form rather than depending on Python. If you can have a "not:.." expression, surely you can have an "if:..:then:..:else:.." expression. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/) _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
