I'm building a DataBlob class (which inherits from SimpleItem.Item,
Persistent and RoleManager), a generic object for storing data is such
that you can do the following in a form-processing method:
<dtml-with "manage_addProduct['DataBlob']">
<dtml-call "manage_addDataBlob(id='Fred')">
<dtml-call "fred.setFromForm()">
</dtml-with>
The other idea is that blob contents can be accessed either as
attributes or dictionary keys.
So, you could do:
a.x = 'my value for x'
or
a['x'] = 'another value'
Unfortunately, that also means you could do:
a.setFromForm = my_malicious_function
...for example
So, I was going to override __setattr__ with something like the
following:
(data is a list of names of attributes that may be set...)
def __setattr__(self,name,value):
if hasattr(self,name) and not name in self.data:
raise 'Oh no you don't!'
self.data.append(name)
SimpleItem.Item.__setattr__(self,name,value) # this is the bit that
worries me
I think this should work in 2.2, but what about that line, should it be
Item.__setattr__ or Persistent.__setattr__ ?
Is ther eanything else I've missed?
cheers,
Chris
