Can you be more specific about what you want to do? I wonder if I'm understanding correctly... Why not just use a class variable for all instances of a class implemented for this purpose instead of instance variables? You can do this with both ZClasses and Python products...

I'd like to have somethig like the static variables in C++ or Java. And if I am not mistaken, that is a serious Zope-weakness which causes the many many problems with connecting to databases. If anyone of you can tell me I'm wrong and why, I'd be happy. If not: any idea how to do it? If possible: a clean solution.
