[Zope-dev] zpatterns: how to specify default values?

[Jephte CLAIN]

hello,

a common practice is to put default values for attributes for a classe
as class variables.
if the instance hasn't got the value, it gets the value from the class.

but I can't do this with dataskins, because direct dataskins attributes
take precedence on attributes providers.

the way I do it now is to make a default_attributes attribute provider
which provides defaults. is this correct?
or is there a better way to do this?
