Usually, it is a bad idea to use "aq_base" in Zope applications
(there are special cases where it is the right thing though).
The reason: Zope usually expects to work with acquisition wrapped objects.
"aq_base" discards the acquisition context.


You should carefully examine the context of the code fragment above.
Maybe, the context is one of the rare situations where "aq_base"
is called for...
