class One(Implicit, Persistent, RoleManager, Folder): attribute = "Some text or something else" def somemethod(self): ob = Two() self._setObject("id", ob) ob.method()
class Two(Implicit, Persistent, RoleManager, Folder): def method(self): print self.aq_acquire("attribute")
one = One() one.somemethod()
Leads toward an AttributeError because aq_acquire was not found in Two.method()
I'm afraid this isn't going to improve your opinion of the documentation <wink>. Your Two instance doesn't have aq_acquire because it's not in an acquisition wrapper; It would only get one by being acquired, or by adding... ob = ob.__of__(self) ...before the 'ob.method()' line. Searching www.zope.org on Acquisition gets me quite a few documents, including Jim Fulton's http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/Info/IPC8/AqAlgNews Admittedly, none of them seems to talk about the aq_* methods. You don't have to hit the C source, though; See lib/Components/ExtensionClass/*.stx (docs in structured text). Cheers, Evan @ 4-am & digicool
