Hello, I have this serious show-stopper problem that I do not know how to get around, so any input is appreciated. I am building a Product that is basically a Zope interface to a set of non-Zope APIs to a directory system. In my product at one point I receive a list of (not zope-based) objects from a factory method in the API set. These objects all represent Persons with all necesary attributes and lazy DB lookup etc. Very neat. What is not so neat is that I have no means of zope-unpack them and display them in a ZPT. I have tried the following in my product class: def _zopify(self, o): # wrap object o in a an Acquisition.ImplicitAcquisitionWrapper # add __allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects = 1 # Return o o.__allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects = 1 return Acquisition.ImplicitAcquisitionWrapper(o, self) and in my product code I do this. plist = get_non_zope_person_object_list(...) return [self._zopify(person) for person in plist ] but I still get """ The container has no security assertions. Access to 'lname' of (Products.pdbapi.person.Person instance at 0x03449DA0) denied. """ errors when I try to access the attributes of a person object in the list. I am very reluctant to add zope-specific stuff to the set of APIs because they are used in several other places that are not Zope-specific. I also would like not to have to duplicate code existing in the API just to have it become Zope-friendly, so I am trying to find alternative paths here. Any help is appreciated.
