[Zope-dev] __setattr__ and acquisition ( was RE: __getattr__ and acquisition)

[Erik A. Dahl]

Yep.  This is a problem for me I'm trying to find something through 
acquisition in my __setattr__.  Self  is totally unwrapped.  Can anyone 
think of a creative solution?  aq_acquire doesn't help because self is 
not a wrapped object. :(  Can't pass in the object I want because the 
whole point of the setattr is to get around the function call.
