Having discovered that [my] Z Class is in the wrong product,
I'd like to
move it elsewhere. The obvious thing to do is to use Cut + Paste;
unfortunately, I get:
The item my-item does not support this operation.
(The function manage_copyObjects is not happy!)
I can't think of another way to move my classes without
rebuilding them --
any advice?
Michael,
I agree that this is a pain, but it is a fact of life for now
in ZClass development. ZClasses have a different relationship
with other Zope objects than normal, in that other instances
in the object space refer to them as their class. That makes
picking them up and moving them something not to be done
lightly. In the Python world, this would be equivalent to
pickling a bunch of objects and then moving the class for
those objects to a different package. Without some explicit
action, all of the pickled objects would break because they
would be referencing a class that is no longer there.
It's the same deal with ZClasses. It may be possible in the
future to move ZClasses around, but something will still need
to be done about existing instances created from a class that
moves. So far we have avoided the hard thinking required to
solve that :^) This would be a good candidate for a proposal
in the forthcoming ZopeDev area on Zope.org. More on that
later...
