[Zope] inheritance and ZClasses

[Alex Rice]

When using my own python classes as base classes for ZClasses, I want to
handle constructors. So, I figured I would add:

<!--#call "baseClass.__init__(self,...)"--> 

after the #with ... createInObjectManager() in my ZClass "constructor"
dtml method.

But, Zope takes issue with that method name when I commit the dtml,
raising a TypeError. Is there a way to call constructors from dtml
methods or elsewhere in ZClasses? Other inherited methods (other than
constructors) give me no troubles. Here is the traceback:

...
 File /usr/share/Zope-2.0.0a4-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Var.py,line
307, in __init__ 
 File /usr/share/Zope-2.0.0a4-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py, line
337, in name_param
    (Info: ({'': '"baseClass.__init__(self)"'}, 'call', 1, 'name'))
 File /usr/share/Zope-2.0.0a4-src/lib/python/DocumentTemplate/VSEval.py, line
167, in __init__
    (Object: baseClass.__init__(self))
TypeError: illegal name used in expression

Thanks for any advice on this,
