Since it seems this is going to occur repeatedly, having spent 10 seconds looking at it, it seems that the 'correct' way is to call

self.Destination()._setObject()

so in essence self.Destination().__allow_groups__ will also get what we want.

The call is not needed most of the time as the dispatcher defines __getattr__(). It does however not define __setattr__(). I would still appreciate some comments on what kind of "bad things" can happen if the call to Destination() is omitted. Where will the attribute be set? Could the name __allow_groups__ be (accidentially) acquired? Thanks again, Stefan
