[Zope-dev] RAMcache and container vs. context

[Stefan H. Holek]

This is due to how Python Scripts compute their cache keys. The 
relevant snippet from PythonScript._exec() is:

             asgns = self.getBindingAssignments()
             name_context = asgns.getAssignedName('name_context', None)
             if name_context:
                 keyset[name_context] = aq_parent(self).getPhysicalPath()

Note that aq_parent() gives you the URL parent, not the container. I 
see no way around that as the return value of a script may well depend 
on its context.

HTH,
Stefan
