[Zope-dev] basci properties

Well I was trying to get a self contained class initialisation using a bit of python

I had defined a propertsheet called ClassConstants containing a tokens property with
"A B C" in my extern method initialiser I was doing 

    self = self.this()
    obj = self.ZC.createInObjectManager(id, REQUEST)
    obj.manage_addProperty('t','tokenList','multiple selection')

in the add form I could not seem to get access to the property tokenList
 ie
 I wasn't getting nice things from either
 <dtml-with "_.namespace(S=tokenList)">

not seeing the property.

or 

 <dtml-with "_.namespace(S=Control_Panel.Products.myProduct.ZC.propertysheets.common
.ClassConstants.getProperty('tokenList')>

failing with a permissions problem

in the end I had to define a product external method called getTokenList
which did
def getQProjectList(self):
        obj = self.unrestrictedTraverse("Control_Panel/Products/myProduct/ZC/propert
ysheets/common/ClassConstants")
        return obj.getProperty('tokenList')

How does one define properties which are visible at construction time?
