I am using parsed xml … I have a parsed xml file in a folder. 

I tried to lockdown my plone site, by following the link in http://plone.org/documentation/howto/HowToCreateAPrivatePloneSite

This works great ( basically set a whole bunch of workflow state permissions to authenticated then run the update security settings) if you don't have a parsed xml file inside your site, but if you do you get a nastly little error

TypeError: hasattr expected 2 arguments, got 1

The even.log file says:
2004-07-15T16:12:32 ERROR(200) SiteError http://localhost:5555/nerwa/portal_workflow/updateRoleMappings
Traceback (most recent call last):

    if hasattr(self.aq_base):
TypeError: hasattr expected 2 arguments, got 1

I found the problem on line 193 it says :

    # partial ObjectManagerItem interface

    def getId(self):
        "Return the id of the object as a string."
        if hasattr(self.aq_base):
            base = self.aq_base
        else:
            base = self
        name=getattr(base, 'id', None)
        if name is not None:
            return name
        return self.tpURL()

You can see straightaway that someone is using hasattr with only one parameter.  Not good is it.

Any suggestions how to fix.  The work around I have is just to remove my xml file, apply the security then put the xml file back … although this works it is not the ideal solution.

Maybe I shouldn't be using parsed xml maybe there is a better python xml parser out there??
