[Zope-dev] zpatterns: how to specify default values?

hello, a common practice is to put default values for attributes for a classe as class variables. if the instance hasn't got the value, it gets the value from the class. but I can't do this with dataskins, because direct dataskins attributes take precedence on attributes providers. the way I do it now is to make a default_attributes attribute provider which provides defaults. is this correct? or is there a better way to do this? regards, jephte.clain@univ-reunion.fr
