My Apologies. sleep depravation can mask even the simplest of errors. the problem was not with the python methods. the cause as far as i have been able to determine was with my botched attempt to upgrade the LoginManager and to install ZPatterns. i'm not sure exactly what the problem was, i think i might have overwritten the LoginManager distributed with the PTK. i've since hosed that zope installation and reimported my classes into a fresh install where things work beautifully. thanks Evan for making a very cool product.

I was wondering why Python Methods seem to make ZClasses very unstable.

This is the first I've heard of this. I make extensive use of PythonMethods in ZClasses (and elsewhere) without any problems. Can you reduce the problem to a minimal example which can be exported? If so, I may be able to help.

Cheers,

Evan @ digicool & 4-am
