[Zope-dev] getting size of zope.schema.List from a view in bluebream

[Adam GROSZER]

Hello,

Well using removeSecurityProxy is not so nice.

If there's really a list in your property, then zope should give you 
zope.Public access:

_default_checkers = {
...
     list: NamesChecker(['__getitem__', '__getslice__', '__len__', 
'__iter__',
                         '__contains__', 'index', 'count', '__str__',
                         '__add__', '__radd__', ]),
...

Can you do:

           from zope.security.proxy import removeSecurityProxy

           li = removeSecurityProxy(self.context.list_field)
	  print type(li)
