This will return the true container the instance is set in, not just the acquisition parent.
What's so bad about parent = self.aq_parent
Two things: - simply using aq_parent does not guarantee giving you the real containment parent. Depending on the path used to access the object it could be something different from the true containment parent. That's the power of acquisition... - direct attribute access like that makes me feel dirty. I prefer the true object-oriented style where you use methods to get at stuff. jens
