[Zope-dev] Can't return / publish object of a dictionary?

[Jeff Rush]

Yeah, the new property type in Python 2.2 is pretty cool, but out of 
range for use under Zope at the moment.  The ExtensionClass requirement 
for persistence eliminates using it with new style Python classes.

Plus... the Lars, the original poster, said he was a Python newbie and 
he certainly doesn't need to get lost wandering around in bleeding edge 
versions.

I think Zope 2.7 or 3.0 is supposed to support new style classes and 
persistence.  But not today...
