[Zope] Losing acquisition wrapping between method calls

[Etienne Labuschagne]

Thanks for the reply Dieter,

The example below is very brief and gives the impression of direct 
attribute assignment.

What I was actually trying to acomplish is to implement properties in Zope 
by using __getattr__ and __setattr__.  This way of implementing properties 
is currently the only option in Zope afaik (unless I can get ZODB 3.3 to 
work for me) as new style classes are not yet supported in ZODB 3.2.

Properties will give me the syntaxical ease of direct attribute access, but 
with the "correctness" of accessors (getters and setters).

It seems that although I can have properties, I will have limited (Zopeish) 
scope on what I can do in the setter.

Hopefully I can make ZODB 3.3 work with Zope2.7 and have the best of both 
worlds (new-style classes's properties in Zope - yeeehaaa).

Regards
Etienne
