[Zope-dev] Quickie?

[Gerald Anderson]

Hey all,

   I'm working on developing a Product and have run into a small, but 
annoying nag.  I'm using the mx.DateTime object to get a little more 
functionality for my timekeeping.  Everything seems to work fine until I 
try to go to the security management tab for the objects in question 
(ZM).  I get the following:

User Name (User Id)  	 gander (gander)
Request URL 	http://localhost:8080/G/One/manage_access
Exception Type 	AttributeError
Exception Value 	'mx.DateTime' module has no attribute '__bases__'

Traceback (innermost last):

AttributeError: 'mx.DateTime' module has no attribute '__bases__'

I've done a little homework and think I'm more confused when I started. 
  It seems that __bases__ is supposed to contain a tuple with the 
classes base classes?  It also looks as though this is supposed to be a 
Python attribute, but I can't seem to verify that.  Why is it that Zope 
would require this, or a very popular library not contain it?  Is it 
some new or deprecated issue?

Could anybody tell me where to start looking for some answers on this? 
Am I going to have to drop the mx.DateTime?  Is there some simple and 
silly solution?  Any help would be most appreciated.  Just for 
informational purposes, I'm a neophyte zope and python developer, but an 
otherwise experienced professional.

Thanks in advance,

Gerald
