[Zope] Zope Persistence (was: XML-RPC within ZOPE)

[Chris Withers]

Ole,

I'm getting pretty tired of this thread, even reading it is annoying. 
You're whining about stuff which isn't a problem, and making out like 
Zope/ZODB has all these big critical flaws, casting huge assertions 
without having enough understanding to make them...

What the hell are you doing that for?

If self.a is a simple python list, of course you're in trouble.
Make it a PersistentList, or better yet, an OOTreeSet, and you'll be 
much better off...

I can assure you Zope does ZERO code introspection...

Seriously, your examples are overcomplicated, your use cases are bizarre 
and your attitude of "it must be Zope's fault" is more than a little 
wearing.

No-one's forcing you to use Zope, I'd implore you to go and use another 
framework if you're so convinced Zope "does it wrong" ;-)
