Hello,

After some deep searches about the subject, I found that zope has no real unique ID's.

I may be way off the mark here, but what about using some the object reference in the ZODB? Or does such a thing not even exist? I'm sure when I've generated errors in the past, I've sometimes got instance ID's or something similar thrown back at me.

For a particular application (where we can't use the object "url" as an ID as ojects will move), I'd like to assign a unique_id property to each object whenever they are added (the ID must be really really unique).

For similar reasons, I tried to do something like this, but one way and another, I never persued it when I thought that it wasn't simple. Hoping for a more authoritative answer... tim
