[Zope3-Users] logging in in interactive shell?

[Edward Zwart]

Thanks Simon, I just learned my mistake was I needed to start the
interactive prompt with bin/myproj-debug.exe.  I get the root obj for
free, and I even get all the buildout eggs in the path this way.  Life
is good!

However, I have another question now...

In the z3c.form documentation here:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/z3c.form/1.9.0

In the section on Custom Widget Factories (CTRL + F "MyEditForm")

Even if I start my interactive prompt with myproj-debug.exe, the following line

>>> myEdit = MyEditForm(root[u'srichter'], TestRequest())

gives a KeyError (naturally).  I am guessing this refers to some
object representing Stephan's logged in credentials?  How is this
achieved?

I have a feeling that if I get that far, I may have all I need for a
good while!  :)
