Going with 2.8 sounds like a rather good solution. -----Original Message----- From: zope-bounces@zope.org [mailto:zope-bounces@zope.org] On Behalf Of Chris McDonough Sent: Friday, May 20, 2005 3:01 PM To: Paul Winkler Cc: zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] Modifying __bases__ You might also be able to do the __bases__ hack with Zope 2.8 (as long as Python 2.3+ allows you to assign to it), as it reimplements ExtensionClass using metaclasses instead of custom C hackery.

What I aim to do is have the User Object inherit from a custom class

You can do that in two ways off the top of my head:
1) the good way: write a custom UserFolder. You could probably get away with just inheriting from UserFolder and overriding _doAddUser().
2) the hacky way: monkeypatch User.py to replace SimpleUser with your class.
either way the stuff you are interested in is in AccessControl/User.py.
