[Zope3-dev] Getting the parent object

[Stephan Richter]

Hello everyone,

In the last two days I had several times the urgent need to get to the 
parent of an object, but now that we do not use Acquisition anymore, I 
cannot use aq_parent, or can I? Also, based on the new structure, it seems 
that based on the implementation of a container, getting the parent is not 
always the same.

Unless there is a way to get back to the parent otherwise, I propose that 
we set a __parent__ attribute in an object, when it is added to the 
container. Therefore, all containers are required to implement that feature.

Please comment!

Regards,
Stephan
