Hi have problem that appears at random:
I store Persistent Objects (inherited from a Zope Folder) as keys in a OOBTree. I developed something like mxmRelation (http://www.zope.org/Members/maxm/productList/mxmRelations)
It is strange: I get "r" from the keys of the hash, but if I try to get it from the hash it fails. This only happens sometimes.
def tostring(self): "return string of the relations" result={} for r in self._tree.keys(): result[r]=[] hash_back=self._tree.get(r, None) if hash_back==None: print "tostring(): ", r raise Exception, "Internal Error ???" return for r2 in hash_back.keys(): result[r].append(r2) return result
It is a single threaded application
Solution: BTrees compare the keys of the objects. This means you have to use keys which can be compared to each other. Since you need to have a __cmp__() method for all objects which can compare all objects with each other it is easier to change the application design and use only one type of object as key.
