[Zope3-Users] Persistent subclasses in tests

[Darryl Cousins]

Hi,

I've have a problem with the following and I hope someone can shed some
light for me, I can't figure out what I am missing::

    >>> from ZODB.tests.util import DB
    >>> import transaction
    >>> db = DB()
    >>> conn = db.open()
    >>> root = conn.root()

    >>> from persistent import Persistent
    >>> p = Persistent()
    >>> root['p'] = p

Thats fine, but::

    >>> class TestItem(Persistent):
    ...     pass

    >>> item = TestItem()
    >>> root['item'] = item

    >>> transaction.commit()
    Traceback (most recent call last):
