There might should be more obvious APIs for just *retrieving* an adapter based on a set of interfaces; it's useful to be able to retrieve an adapter without invoking it. Currently this is possible via registry.adapters.loookup, which is fine. And I know it's heresy, but sometimes I register something as an "adapter" that is not callable with the number of arguments I'm adapting it with. Sometimes its convenient to register something that gets adapted using a number of arguments that doesn't match the adaptation arguments. If some set of ZCA APIs made it the responsibility of the *caller* to invoke the adapter with arguments would go a long way between normalizing the difference between utilities and adapters (because they would essentially then be the same thing). - C _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
