[Zope-dev] Lists of Objects

[Jack Fitzgerald]

Hello,
I am currently keeping a list of objects 
sorted in a particular object. I am wondering if 
anyone has an opinion about whether I should keep 
just the 'id' in this list or if it is ok
to actually keep a reference to the object in the 
list. When I use the list at a later point in time
I will need to access several attributes of the 
object. If I keep the 'id' I would have to find the object 
for each entry in the list. Thanks in advance for 
any opinions.

depending on your application you could just do it the way zcatalog does
it and store the url and resolve the url to an object when you want to
access attributes.
