Ross,
Please see the bit about "inheritedAttribute" in the document inside Zope's source tree named lib/Components/ExtensionClass/doc/ExtensionClass.html.
HTH,

The trick given there doesn't seem to work in complicated cases. 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) What if you have more than one base class with the method defined? The implication of th example is that the non-extension class base class is used (though even that is not clear; would this work if Base had __init__?), but what if there are several non-extension base classes? The syntax doesn't provide a way of indicating which class you want the method from, and so it seems incomplete.
