Re: [Zope-dev] How to override __getattr__ and not break acquisition

Ok I need to override __getattr__ in one of my product classes. I'm sure this is killing acquisition

yes

but not sure about the persistence stuff (I think this is working).

it will still work

Is there a way to make this work?

yes

Here is what I'm doing:

def __getattr__(self, name): if name == 'myattr': return self.myattr()

if your return value knows about acquisition, you need to it by calling __of__: def __getattr__(self, name): if name == 'myattr': return self.myattr().__of__(self)

I assume that somewhere in the Acquisition code there is a __getattr__ but I can't find it.

it is implemented in C. -- Steve Alexander
