Hi all, I'm a newcomer to Zope, and while mostly it seems attractive, there's one thing that to me seems downright wrong: the use of docstrings to differentiate between published and private (wrt the web) objects (methods in particular). Why I think this is bad: 1. The purpose of the docstring in Python is to give a human-readable textual description of the objects's function or purpose. 2. Zope uses this docstring for deciding whether to make the object published (visible from the web). In essence, this seems to be taking a structure intended for documentation, and using it for security purposes (where visibility is a facet of security). 3. As far as I have been able to see, there is no way to disable the functionality described in (2); similarly, there is no way to use a override the behaviour, so that one can give a non-published object a docstring. I hope I'm wrong about part (3). I hope that something has been/is being done to rectify this design flaw. Andrew
