What's wrong with AbstractCatalogBrain.getObject()? Doesn't that work? -Randy

objs = [] for catent in container.Catalog(context.REQUEST): objs.append(container.Catalog.getobject(catent.data_record_id_)) return objs

I've checked, and catent is a mybrains instance and catent.data_record_id_ has an increasing number as its value. So why doesn't this work?

Also, and this is a better reason for posting this to zope-dev than asking for help is <grin>: why can't I say

catent.getobject()

That would seem to be a lot more OOish.

This is under Zope-2.3.0, by the way.

That code looks pretty good to me. Did you try updating the Catalog? Also, what happens if just append catent. Do you get something other than None then? I would assume so, but it might help to see exactly what the meta data is to identify the objects it "should" return.

I agree that getobject should be a method of the result item, although implementing it might be a bit tricky to do. I looked into that a while back. Perhaps I should take another look at that...
