Hi,
both Resource and BrowserView have a common parent
class, viz Location, whose parent class is object.

           object
             |
             |
         Location
           /   \
          /     \
         /       \
   BrowserView   Resource
         \        /
          \      /
           \    /
        FileResource


As there are no calls to super() in any of the
definitions of BrowserView, Reource, FileResource or
Location, only the __init__ method of BrowserView
would appear to be called because attribute lookup
proceeds through the parent classes in the order they
are provided in the definition.

This can be practically tested by inserting a
NotImplementedError into to the definition of
Resource.__init__.

I'm pretty certain that that method is never called,
unless perhaps somewhere else in zope there is another
class that inherits from it first.

Cheers,

John.
