Question

I was trying to render a list of objects into a plone template,
I wrote the python script with the query to get a list of objects, then it returns a list with the objects.

lista-fixos = context.portal_catalog.searchResults(
        Subject = { "query": ["Destaques", "Destaques-fixo"],
                     "operator": "and" 
                     }
)
lista-normal = context.portal_catalog.searchResults(
        Subject = { "query": ["Destaques"]}

)

lista-fixos.append(lista-normal)

for e in lista-fixos:
       if e not in lista-final:
           lista-final.append(e)
return lista-fixos

And here I try to get then

tal:define="results here/getCatalogDestaques.py"

Here is the script and the template

My problem is that everytime that I try to call the template it give me the following error:

Answer 1

Try removing the .py part from the call. ie:

tal:define="results here/getCatalogDestaques"
