Re: [Dev] mapping python back to the repository

A kindless item is limited in what it can do     but is useful as a container of other items, its children (see above). kind.newItem() seems to work for me, but I'm curious in exploring the python-constructor method further, if only to understand how it works: I've had no luck passing in a view parameter, I still don't get default attribute values from the Kind.. but your last bullet makes me think that I need to pass in a kind manually. You mention that its optional, but if I don't pass one in, what Kind gets hooked up? Alec
