[Zope-dev] Adding properties in __init__

[Chris Withers]

Hi,

I have a product class that subclasses SimpleItem and PropertyManager.

If I try and add a property in __init__ as so:

self.manage_addProperty('AProperty','1\n2\n3','lines')

I get the following wonderful error:

Error Type: AttributeError
Error Value: aq_base

I'm guessing that this is because self isn't an acquisition wrapper in
__init__ (even though SimpleItem is Acquisition.Implicit) but what am I
supposed to do to add a property in __init__?

cheers,

Chris
