Re: [Zope-dev] Extension class and __init__

Ross Boylan writes:

The example there is basically class Spam: def __init__(self): ...

class ECSpam(Base, Spam): #Base is an ExtensionClass def __init__(self): ECSpam.inheritedAttribute('__init__')(self) I started to use the following idiom:

class ECSpam(...,Spam): ... _Spam__init= Spam.__init__ def __init__(self): self._Spam__init() i.e., rename the overloaded method in you derived class and call it in the normal way with its new name. Dieter
