[Zope] About factory_type_information

[working4aliving]

FYI:  your wrong. ;)

You can search for text in windows by using the "containing text" box in the
search window that opens up in explorer when you do a startment / search /
files and folders...
specify the file type, (if need be) and the directory, and put something in
the text.

That's right and that's what i'll need to do : a CustomizationPolicy.

I'm examining Plone's source but as a newbie to Python, Zope and Plone,
i have to examine many tutorials, books, scripts, etc at a time and i
have a serious disability, i'm using W!ndows.
Do you know that the search function of this os can't search a string in
.py file like unix's grep could do ? So when i'm searching references to
functions called from various modules, i must open all the files and
search inside each one.
So, from time to time i ask questions to have a path or a kick and to
not give up.
But, by having to search in all modules, i think i'll finally have a
large vision of the whole system.

Thank's for your help.
