Subject: [Zope] client argument to python
function calls?
I'm trying to emulate some DTML methods with
python code in my (python) product.
Let's say I have two Python classes, one named
Foo, the other Bar. Something like this:
class Foo(Folder.Folder, Persistent,
Implicit):
meta_type = "Foo"
def magic(self,
client=None):
"magic
method!"
if client
== None:
client = self
return
client.magic_word
class Bar(Folder.Folder, Persistent,
Implicit):
meta_type =
"Bar"
def __init__(self,
id):
self.id =
id
self.magic_word = 'Alacazam!"
Now I create a structure like this in
Zope:
/
foo
(instance of the Foo class)
bar
(instance of the Bar class)
Now if I goto /bar/foo/magic, I see the magic
word. However, I would also like to use /foo/bar/magic, and also receive
the magic word. This latter case doesn't work, the magic_word isn't
set.
In fact, the "client" argument is never anything
but None.
This is a facet of Zope I still don't quite
understand...
Thanks,
