This is what a full-coverage unit and functional test suit is for. You have got automated tests for all this stuff, right? NO! I do not! I am a ZCA user not a full time python programmer. That is why I a asking for help here. Initially at least on the Zope Users list. If you are expecting ZCA users to be full time Python gurus then why have two mailing lists? It seems that you are asking a user to provide the developers with a ready to commit patch. I wish I had those skills and could do so. Alas, it isn't going to happen.

Thanks Dieter, On Fri, 2008-12-19 at 19:41 +0100, Dieter Maurer wrote: I often approach situations like this with so called Monkey Patches: I replace or enhance classes or methods during startup (triggered by some startup event). This may not be optimal but allows me to solve my problems without tight coupling with the core developpers who usually do not have my problems and tend not see them as very high priority. I am starting to see why other Python developers aren't too interested in Zope. Despite the awesome power of the architecture. I've been poking around and using and supporting Zope since 1999. But because I am not an expert programmer (my skills are in another field) and because I do not know Zope inside and out. I am being chastised for not supplying my own complete fixes to the developers or at least being able to cover for their mistakes inside my application. Silly me. Working in open source for 14 years and I had no idea it worked like this. I'm sure glad that we do not run openEHR like that.
