Hello, Well using removeSecurityProxy is not so nice.
If there's really a list in your property, then zope should give you zope.Public access: _default_checkers = { ... list: NamesChecker(['__getitem__', '__getslice__', '__len__', '__iter__', '__contains__', 'index', 'count', '__str__', '__add__', '__radd__', ]), ... Can you do: from zope.security.proxy import removeSecurityProxy li = removeSecurityProxy(self.context.list_field) print type(li) On Tue, 23 Aug 2011 17:43:22 +0530 you wrote: > > Hello Charlie, > > Thanks for the reply. > > On Tue, 2011-08-23 at 13:56 +0200, Charlie Clark wrote: >> I think it's really difficult to work out what you are trying to do. >> Please state your problem more clearly.
