[Zope-dev] getPropertyType returns None in ZClass

OK, here is what I tried on a test ZClass ("infos" is a propertysheet name):

<UL>
<dtml-with "myZClassInstance.propertysheets.infos">
  <dtml-in "propertyIds()">
   <LI><dtml-var sequence-item> -
          <dtml-var "getPropertyType(_['sequence-item'])"> -
          <dtml-var "getProperty(_['sequence-item'])"> -
          <dtml-var "propertyLabel(_['sequence-item'])"> -
          <dtml-var "hasProperty(_['sequence-item'])">
  </dtml-in>
</dtml-with>
</UL>

And here is what I got:

      title - string - Site du Gisti - title - 1
      description - None - C'est le site du Gisti. - description - 1
      adresse - None - http://www.gisti.org - adresse - 1
      lien - None - Site du Gisti - lien - 1
      mots_cles - None - ['Gisti', 'site', 'le poulpe', "l'afrique"] - 
mots_cles - 1

So everything is working fine *except* getPropertyType(). This doesn't work 
any better:

<dtml-var 
"myZClassInstance.propertysheets.infos.getPropertyType('description')">

I also get "None". I used propertyMap() as a workaround but I'm puzzled. 
Did I miss something? (I use Zope 2.1b2 on Win NT4).


Cheers.

Alexandre
