I need to grab a reference to a particular object in the ZODB from an external method, bypassing acquisition. Is this the right way to do it: def test(self, REQUEST=None): """doc string""" myobj = REQUEST.PARENTS[-1].aTopLevelFolder.anotherFolder._getOb('id_of_myobj') ...do stuff with myobj: myobj.title, myobj.index_html, myobj.property = 123 ...
