[Zope] Modifying __bases__

[Dan Pozmanter]

Well, when I run it, I am able to do the following:

------------------------------------
class A: 
	pass

class B(A):
	pass

b = B()

B.__bases__ = ()

print B.__bases__
------------------------------------

Not so on the version that comes with zope.
(B.__bases__ will remain unchanged.)

What I aim to do is have the User Object inherit from a custom class
(AlienUser).

You mean the Windows binaries? This should be a standard Python version.
However by do you want to modify __bases__? This sounds like a very evil
hack to me. What's your usecase?
