Hi, I was wondering why Python Methods seem to make ZClasses very unstable. I've got a set of movies Zclasses that i'm adding in via xml-rpc (to an external method). The Classes and pages work fine until anyone of them calls a python method within the class that simply returns a fixed string date representation. At this point all the Movie ZClasses (instantations of one class) become broken through the zodb, and i get dumped a bunch of ZODB errors at the console about not being able to load state. i can still add in new movies. when i was writing this application things worked fine but now that i've shutdown and restarted zope i've been getting these errors. i vaguely remember chris petrelli (of dc) saying something about python methods being bad for zclasses at IPC8 (python conference). I realize that the solution to my problem is basically moving the python method outside the zclass (i hope) but i was wondering if anyone could shed any light on the why of the problem.
