Re: [Zope] Product Update Strategy

..well doing this kindof thing is exactly what I use it for: you write a new version of a product which has attributes in different places in classes, etc, and you need to update old instances.

What do you do with entirely new methods? <cw> As in ZClass method? Add them using the normal manage_add* stuff. Utility.py in Squishdot has methods to do this. </cw> Installing a python product should be ok, but I'd like to automate the installation of the external method because none of the users currently have management rights. <cw> Well, you could write a product that does monkey patching and updating on initialisation and the delete itself off the filesystem ;-) </cw> cheers, Chris
