Aargh isnt that annoying. Gosh you are right im using lists of dictionaries... my Zope code is correct, but that example is wrong. The example still works though... -- Andy McKay, Developer, ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com Programming for the People ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Rusch" <drusch@globalcrossing.com> To: "Andy McKay" <AndyM@activestate.com>; <zope@zope.org> Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2000 12:19 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] getting base classes's (super class) _properties tuple
I can't believe it, but I didn't have the last comma ({'b':'B', 'bb':'BB'}, ) and that's what was killing me .....agh
BTW, I noticed you are using lists of dictionaries instead of the "standard" tuple of dictionaries. I don't know if there are any consequences to doing this. Anyway, since yours are lists you should be able to to do this:
class A: _properties = [ {'a':'A', 'aa':'AA'}, ]
class B(A): _properties = [ {'b':'B', 'bb':'BB'}, ] _properties.append(A._properties)
not that it realy matters.
Thanks,

Say I have a fully functional (and more importantly, working) Product will call A.
I want to extend this Product's capabilities so I wish to derive another
class from it, call it B.
No problem,
class B(A): .........
now in class B I want to add a new property.
Is the a way of getting the base (super) class _properties tuple and just adding the new one to it. Since a tuple is an immutable object I can't do this: _properties=A._properties.append({'id':'RenderStandardHeader', 'type':'int','mode':'w'})
Any thoughts ????
