[Zope] REQUEST within a property() getter/setter

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

I was afraid of this ... :(

Back to using get_request() then!

No.

Python's low level attribute access methods ("__getattribute__",
"__getattr__", "__setattr__", property setter/getter) are below the reach of
acquisition.
Their "self" is not acquisition wrapped.

That's why your "self.REQUEST" is "Acquisition.Acquired"
(rather then the acquire object).
