Why does Zope asks for a value to enter for a new property when you're making a class? I understand that you've to enter a value when you're making a Class instance? But while defining a class??? Is this meant as a default value?? Okay, the problem is that Python does not know about data types. You cannot declare an"empty" (variable without value) variable in Python, since a statement like 'int test' does not exist.I have heard from DC (someone correct me please if I am wrong) that they tried to convind Guido to put variable declarations into the language without success. You do not need to supply a default value for strings and text, since it usually uses "" to do that. I usually put 0 for the integers and floats. I know that is very annoying, but has to that way. But about Dates. Hmm, Zope uses an early (completely GPL) version of DateTime. I thought you can create a DateTime object without a default value. Strange.
Tom, I hope that helped. cheers, stephan -- Stephan Richter iXL - Software Designer and Engineer CBU - Physics, Computer Science and Chemistry Student
