Usually a private method is used purely as a mean of implementation. And should never be called from other objects. This is not the case here, as the method is clearly a part of the api.
Well, no, it isn't really, since it starts with _. However, python do not in itself enforce privacy, so therefore you *can* call it. But by starting it with _ it is private by convention. Zope also implements some of this privacy, so you can't call it from Python scripts and so on.
Sorry but I don't see that. How on earth are you suposed to add an object to an objectmanager, if you don't use _setObject() ?? Every time you make an object that subclasses ObjectManager, wich is often, you need to use that function. That can hardly be called private. -- hilsen/regards Max M Rasmussen, Denmark http://www.futureport.dk/ Fremtiden, videnskab, skeptiscisme og transhumanisme
