[Zope] PoPy and Delete results

[Chris Gray]

Thanks for the response, Dieter.

For consistency within Zope, an integer result could still be repackaged
as a sequence result.

For now I can do what I wanted to by:

select count(food) from penguins
where food='Henri Bergson'

(thus getting the number of records about to be affected by a delete 
as a sequence result) before running:

delete from penguins
where food='Henri Bergson'

Cheers,
Chris
