It really does not work or probably You just does not understand what I n=
eed=20
(or I not understand You as well). O.K. I'll try again to exaplain.

In Zope product, I do:

class foo:
=09def bar(self):
=09=09return self.context.MyObject()

=2E..and this does not work. O.K., but in the _same_ Zope Product, I just=
 add=20
simple "def" (not within a class), like:

def testHere(self):
=09return self.MyObject()

=2E..and it works. O.K., now how to pass the "context", since all the tim=
e Zope=20
returns me "The variavle 'context' is not defined"? Can You show me a cod=
e a=20
little?

Sigh.  I like to think it's just the Linux people who want to be on
the "leading edge" so bad they walk right off the precipice.
