[Zope-dev] setattr and skinscript

[Kent Polk]

I have a Specialist which I am using to programmatically load table
data into a rack with. When I add a skinscript to query the rack,
my setattr, which is used to set the row attributes produces the
following error:

2001-04-06T22:45:03 PROBLEM(100) ZPatterns Error computing attribute SID
Traceback (innermost last):

my skinscript currently only has the SQL_getTable() method referenced
and it appears that the rack is atempting to obtain the current
value for the attributes I am attempting to set in the rack item,
and I have only just created the item so none are there.

1) Is there a way to override the skinscript attempting to access
the item's attributes when I am attempting to set them?

barring that,

2) How do I otherwise deal with the skinscript attempting to access
the attributes?

If I don't provide the skinscript, I can set the item's attributes
just fine directly in the rack. Is there another way that I am
supposed to be setting row (item) attributes than using setattr()
for a ZPatterns rack?

Thanks
