This happens through a meta class that removes all the class attributes, putting them into a list. This list is stored in the "declared_widgets" class attribute that used to inialize the WidgetList. Since the class attributes are removed, subclasses don't see them. I've suggested a patch in http://trac.turbogears.org/ticket/2014 that makes your example above work as intended. -- Christoph --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
