[Zope-dev] Waaagh! Python Script won't allow __setitem__

[Chris Withers]

Hi,

I've got an object which implements __setitem__ in such a way that it's
perfectly safe for use in Python Scripts. Sadly, it seems that Evan's Byte Code
hacks won't let me do this :-(

Whenever I try to do something like: myobject['fish']=1, I get a traceback like
the following:

Traceback (innermost last):
File E:\Zope\237994~1.0\lib\python\Shared\DC\Scripts\Bindings.py, line 324, in

E:\Zope\237994~1.0\lib\python\Products\PythonScripts\zbytecodehacks\VSExec.py,
line 429, in __setitem__
TypeError: (see above)

Is there any way I can get around this other than renaming __setitem__ to set,
which screws up the nice python syntax?

cheers,

Chris
