I'm inclined to think that in some future version of Zope, we should switch to making explicit acquisition the norm.
Jim, do you have any opinions on some of the other acquisition strategies that have been mentioned on the list?
I don't have time to read the list normally. :( (This is bad. I need to fix this and am trying to ....)
In particular, there seems to be merit in an acquisition that searches only the containment heirarchy.
Of course. Zope already doesn this for security. It does this by brute force most of the time, although there's now more API support for it. There's a 'containment' keyword flag argument to the aq_acquire method, so, at least from Python, you can force acquisition to search *only* the containment hierarchy. I think that there's merit to providing more control over how acquisition happens. This is consistent with making acquisition more explicit. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Python Powered!
