[Zope-dev] aq_parent not available in __setattr__

[Brian Oliver]

Yep... Certainly isn't.

Aquisition isn't available for either __getattr__ or __setattr__.

So the fundamental question remains...

How does one receive a callback/create a hook that is called when an 
attribute is changed, especially changed via the default property editor for 
Zope objects (such that aquisition still works)?

If this type of feature isn't already planned for Zope 3 (I'll take a look 
and get active), I'm sure it should be.  My suggestion would be to provide 
Java Beans like get and set methods for all properties, so custom handlers 
could easily be created.
