Well, in 2.8, new behaviour is expected, right?
I really passionately believe that we should not be returnining None in Zope 2.8, and since 2.8 hasn't quite hit beta yet I'm very keen to see it fixed asap.
Any objections?
Most of my queries, where I need to wake up objects, has the form::
brains = catalog(portal_type='Document')
objects = []
for brain in brains:
try:
obj = brain.getObject()
if not obj is None:
objects.append(obj)
except:
passSo it will not break any of my code, and I guess that most do something similar.
Another thing is that I think that this pattern is so common that the catalog should have a query method where brains are automatically converted to objects. Like:
objects = catalog.getObjects(portal_type='Document')
That would be a handy time saver.
