I've noticed another strange behaviour with the Acquisition module in
Zope 2.9 that might give us some clues as to why refreshing doesn't
work.
Imagine some code that looks like this::
from Acquisition import aq_parent
class MyProduct(Folder):
def index_html(self):
print type(aq_parent) is None
return "Hello World!"
The first time I run this, it prints "False" to stdout because
ac_parent is of course a function.
BUT, if I refresh the product (no change made to the source) and run
this index_html() again it instead prints "True" because ac_parent has
become None.
Isn't that odd?
Again, this is easily reproducable with

Any idea anyone?
