[Zope] Re: Why do I get an attribute error when one tool calls anothertool?

Yes, that's true, but I think you can make it work if you
pass the REQUEST (or I think the object itself) that calls
the init method. ie:

def manage_addMyProduct(self, p1, p2, ..., REQUEST=None, submit=None):
   """Method that is called to create an instance on the zope db"""
   #Do something here
   #Then create the object:
   myObj=MyProduct(self,p1,p2)
   self._setObject(id,boringObj)

   #Do request redirection things here

class MyProduct:
   def __init__(self, callerObj, p1, p2):
     """Inits your product"""
     ppt=getToolByName(callerObj,"parasynpip_tool")

I don't know if it is the right sintax, but once I did something
similar. If I'm not wrong, it is on the book of Dieter, or it is
on a message that he posted.
