Hi
As Attila pointed out, zope.proxy is possible to implement using peak.util.proxies if you only want some limited zope.proxy support. You won't get zope.security going down this path.
I do that specifically so that I can use zope.deferredimport on app engine.
Below is the awful hacking I do to zope.proxy.__init__ to make it support zope.deferredimport on appengine.
Please don't encourage this. People reading this, please forget you read Tim's email. :) (Jim whips out special pen and asks that everyone look in his direction for a moement.) zope.deferred import should, perhaps, be modified to use peak.util.proxies, but we should not have packages floating around that modify zope.proxy to weaken it. I wish I had agitated to make changes to Python to make deferred imports use of zope.proxy unnecessary. Jim -- Jim Fulton
