While testing a large-ish customer project under Zope 2.7.3 we found that
when an object with setDefaultAccess('deny') is used as the context for
a PythonScript, the script can no longer aquire tools from the portal
root.
*By definition*, anybody who has declared 'setDefaultAccess('deny') *wants* the behavior you describe: that declaration says, "unless I give you explicit permission for using a name, refuse."
I do *NOT* think that this is the intended semantics of "setDefaultAccess('deny')".
In my view, "setDefaultAccess(XXX)" should only affect objects that do not have security declarations themselves. Acquired tools have security declarations -- they should not be affected by "setDefaultAccess".
If Plone has classes which make such assertions, then either the authors *meant* them, or they need to be removed. This is (literally) the same thing as declaring '__allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__ = 0' in your class.
With this name, it becomes even clearer:
Acquires tools are neither "unprotected" nor "subobjects".

Tres.
OK, so my change was specifically to 'guarded_getattr', so the test was exercising the wrong thing. Note that this means that the old behaviour of guarded_getattr was allowing objects to be returned which wouldn't be validated (I think). Here is a test for 'guarded_getattr', which *fails* both before and after my change:
