[Zope] Object as members

[Michel Pelletier]

Kent,

I read your message several times and I'm afraid I don't understand it.

Ok...  Is Xen written in C?  Just about all Python programs are
distributed as source, this is almost the nature of Python (of course,
you can just distribute the bytecode...)

This seems to imply that you are trying to compile (Xen?) with mingw32. 
I wasn't aware that Xen contained any C code, and I thought that the
mingw32 was a C complier.  I could be wrong...

Could you explain, in a Zope context, how you want to reference and
dereference objects?  Do you want to pass them between C and Python or
strictly in Python?
