Did you tell the parent what is the class of its elements ? Specifically when
creating a parent with the category framework you need either to write

    class MyParentClass(...):
        ...
        class Element(...):
            ...

Or else

    class MyElementClass(...):
            ...
    class MyParentClass(...):
        ...
        Element = MyElementClass

Then the category framework create for you a dynamic class called

    MyParentClass.element_class


Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Florent
