Is there a reason you can't do this by just messing with the namespaces stack, ie, adding additional folders to it? (Or a reason that's not a good idea?

Steve Alexander wrote: Your requirements sound very much like those for Shane Hathaway's Transparent Folders product, except that instead of briefly diverting acquisition into the transparent folder, you want to briefly divert acquisition into some other arbitrary folder. Steve, thank you very much for that information. I eagerly await the re-release of Transparent Folders. If you don't have sufficient python-hacking-zope-hacking-Zen to do it yourself, I think I might have a go (and hopefully learn some Zope internals Zen in the process). Though I have a reasonable amount of Python experience, I'm just starting on Zope development. Depending on how I get on, I may take you up on your offer!
