[Zope] getting base classes's (super class) _properties tuple

[Daniel Rusch]

I can't believe it, but I didn't have the last comma ({'b':'B', 'bb':'BB'}, )
and that's what was killing me .....agh

BTW, I noticed you are using lists of dictionaries instead of the "standard"
tuple of dictionaries. I don't  know if there are any consequences to doing
this.  Anyway, since yours are lists you should be able to to do this:

class A:
    _properties = [ {'a':'A', 'aa':'AA'}, ]

class B(A):
    _properties = [ {'b':'B', 'bb':'BB'}, ]
    _properties.append(A._properties)

not that it realy matters.

Thanks,

Dan
