To initialize ZEO clients with ClientStorage I need info such as host, port, etc. All the needed stuff is tucked away nicely in the zope.config file and I would like to be using the zope machinery access it. I know that what I need is in there somewhere, but when I try to follow how it happens in say the Zope startup, I get lost in all the dependencies and my head starts swirling. I would like to be able to use something like is in ZODB/config.py: class ZEOClient(BaseConfig): def open(self): from ZEO.ClientStorage import ClientStorage # config.server is a multikey of socket-address values # where the value is a socket family, address tuple. L = [server.address for server in self.config.server] return ClientStorage( L, storage=self.config.storage, cache_size=self.config.cache_size, name=self.config.name, client=self.config.client, var=self.config.var, min_disconnect_poll=self.config.min_disconnect_poll, max_disconnect_poll=self.config.max_disconnect_poll, wait=self.config.wait, read_only=self.config.read_only, read_only_fallback=self.config.read_only_fallback, username=self.config.username, password=self.config.password, realm=self.config.realm) here BaseConfig has that bit of magic that has self.config. I guess I need to know how to instantiate this class. Any ideas? David P. Mika
