[Zope-dev] LoginManager and ZPatterns

[Morten W. Petersen]

Hi fellow zopers,

I don't know if it's a bug or feature, but whenever I try
to access parental objects from a user object in python
code, I can't seem to find anything.

That is, whenever I call acl_users.getItem('user123').getParentNode()
(the acl_users is a LoginManager instance) it returns None.  But,
if it's called from DTML, with exactly the same expression, it returns
the containing object...

Could someone shed some light on this?

Thank you.
