Would it be possible to move the call to _postprocessing in DIV.__init__ to the very end? As it is right now in _postprocessing the parent hasn't been set yet, since _postprocessing is not called last. I have made this change on my local branch and it does not seem to affect anything that I can tell. It does make it possible for me to use the parent attribute of self.components in _postprocessing though.
_postprocessing should be the last thing __init__ does. Is there any particular reason that there is processing happening (setting parent on components) in __init__ after _postprocessing is run? I cannot think of anything that would be broken by this change, but I am far from an expert on web2py so that's why I am asking here. I would prefer to use _postprocessing for things instead of having to override xml and the computation running every time the component is rendered, when it can be handled once at creation.
