[Zope] PluggableBrains weirdness

[Jim Kutter]

What I do in this case is put bogus fields into the record object

Select a, b, '' as new_field1, '' as new_field2 from table where yada
yada

The new_field1 and new_field2 are then members of the object I can do
what I want with, even re-cast them as new types. I frequently do this
to create lists inside the record object.

Hmm... is there a way I can bypass this? Creatively, perhaps? My class 
is implementing some data validation functions, and needs to have a few 
instance variables to keep track of its internal state.

A few things are coming to mind - is there something I can do with a an 
inner class, a global dictionary, or something like that?

Thanks,
Michael
