I could really need some ideas for making a skinnable Python product. I am developing a Product, once more, but this time I am trying to make it skinable. I have written a basic module that can be re-used for all kinds of functionality. What I need is some way to select a skin. First I thought of making the product subclass the objectManager and then make another objectmanager inside that that holds the skins. Like:: myProduct/ skins/ skin1 skin2 ... Then by means of pushing the right skin folder onto the namespace the product could use different skins. But it seems like a waste of resources to have the dtml files duplicated all over the site. So I wondered if it might be possible to do something like the below pseudo-code. Or maybe somebody else has a better idea?? class myProduct: skins = objectManager() skins._setObject('skin1', objectManager()) skins.skin1._setObject(HTMLFile('skin1/index_html')) skins.skin1._setObject(HTMLFile('skin1/view')) skins.skin1._setObject(HTMLFile('skin1/edit')) skins._setObject('skin2', objectManager()) What I want to acheive is to have the skins a class properties, not instance properties. This way I could make a bunch of skins that could be selected from by setting a 'skin' property to the name of the 'skin' in the 'skins' folder. like:: skin = 'skin1' I don't need tested ideas, but would really like some input for ideas as for how to do this. regards Max M
