[Zope-dev] READ_ONLY not passed to FileStorage from z2.py

[Mitchell L Model]

[Zope 2.4.1]

I believe there's a problem with the z2.py startup script in that the 
READ_ONLY flag is ignored by Zope/__init__.py (line 564, following 
the "# Import Zope (or Main)" comment).

Line 110 of __init__.py creates a FileStorage object, but does not 
include the optional read_only argument to its constructor.

I was trying to do some exploring inside python (by importing Zope) 
without stopping the Zope server that I had running on the same 
database.  I couldn't figure out a way to import Zope with a 
read-only variable set, so I started analyzing what z2.py was doing. 
Eventually I realized that even starting z2.py with a -r argument 
caused the same problem.

If this problem is fixed for z2.py, I'm hoping it would give me the 
hook I need to import Zope read-only.
