To start, you need to write just one line of Python. Go to the
'FileLib' folder and create a 'Script (Python)' in that folder.
Give the script the id 'files' and click *Add and Edit*. Edit the
script to contain the following Python code::
## Script (Python) "files"
##
return container.objectValues(['File'])

Thanks. We are learning about TAL and three pages into it we are confronted with Python.
Is there no way of doing this with TAL?

No - there isn't (the short answer, but there are ways, it's just not the point). The point is to separate
the presentation from the actual logic. If you want to do logic in your templates, take a look at DTML. If
you are reading this to build a web application, you *will* need to know Python. It's not easy learning brand
new stuff, especially if you are in completely unfamiliar territory: take a break, plod through the reading
(some things will be explained in time), and if you are still confused join the mailing list and ask some
questions. I've found the best way is to play with it yourself. I admit that takes *a lot* of time, but you
really won't know it otherwise.
