here: http://docs.neuroinf.de/programming-plone/ate we can read:
obj = brain.getObject().aq_base
why .aq_base and not only brain.getObject()? :)
Usually, it is a bad idea to use "aq_base" in Zope applications
You should carefully examine the context of the code fragment above. Maybe, the context is one of the rare situations where "aq_base" is called for...
Why is it rare? I often need to check if an object has a certain attribute. Getting aquisition into the mix is a bad idea there.:: name = getattr(obj, 'name') Is a lot different than name = getattr(obj.aq_base, 'name') In the first example you don't know if the name attribute is an aquired object or an attribute on the actual object. Which can make for uncontrollable results. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science
