[Tutor] where do we use acquisition ?

2005-02-07 Thread chandrasekhar cherukuri
I completely understood what is acquisition. Now can
some one explain me where it is useful and give some
contextual examples where we can see the power of
acquisition.

regards
chandu.

I don't :-)
Can you tell us what you mean by acquisition? I see Zope has something called acquisition; I can't 
think of anything by that name in standard Python...

Hope there is no sarcasm in this.
No, none at all. A light irony, maybe. When I first read your post, I thought, I have no idea what 
acquisition is. I thought it was funny that you completely understand it but I am clueless about 
it. I had to google 'python acquisition' to see that Zope uses that term.

I hope someone else here has more of a clue than me. If not, you might want to try a Zope-specific 
mailing list.

Hi Chandu,

Ah, so you're looking into environmental acquisition.  I think the
reason you're asking about on Tutor is because one of the most visible
deployments of acquisition has been in the Zope web framework.

But just because Zope is written in Python doesn't mean that acquisition
is a concept that's exclusive to Python.  If you would like to learn more,
here's a link to a really nice web site on acquisition:

http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/lorenz/research/acquisition/

It appears to house a lot of the accumulated knowledge on acquisition.
Because this topic is very specialized, we probably won't be able to do
any justice to it on Python-tutor.  The acquisition web site linked above
should give you references for why it's cool, and what communities you can
talk with to learn more about it.

Best of wishes to you!
