[Zope-dev] zpatterns-0.4: creating an item in "virtual mode"

2000-07-05 Thread Jephte CLAIN
Hello, I use virtual attribute access to provide access to my SQL database. However, I want to use the Rack.newItem facility to create new records in the database. But it fails because in virtual mode, an item always exists. This patch solves the problem, at least for me --- Rack.py.orig

Are there (or better yet, what are) any potential problems here? My gut feeling was that it wouldn't work, but you can at the very least add objects in instances of the ZClass - deleting and renaming don't work though. -- Itamar S.T. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fingerprint = D365 7BE8 B81E 2B18 6534 02

[Zope-dev] 'issubclass' and 'isinstance' on ExtensionClasses

2000-07-05 Thread Greg Ward
Hi all -- surely I'm not the first to deal with this: I use 'isinstance()' a lot, and 'issubclass()' occasionally, for run-time type-checking. This breaks when using ZODB Persistent classes, or any other type of ExtensionClass for that matter. I see no use of 'issubclass()' in the Zope lib/pyth
