Can anybody help me with the following question: I havbe created zope/cmf product(e.g. LocalizedDocument) with class. User have created about 40 instances of that class in different places in zope tree. I need to add some methods to class, but how can i apply those changes(new methods) to already created objects?
This is not necessary. Unlike JavaScript, a class in Python is not a blueprint for object creation. Instead, each object contains a reference to its class. When you look up an attribute, the look up is done first in the object and then (if its fails) in its class. Therefore, when you add attributes to a class, all objects see them automatically (unless, they themselves have defined attributes of the same name). Dieter
