[Zope3-dev] Thread problems

[Peter Mayne]

I'm creating a thread using the Python threading module to perform a 
long running task.

As soon as I attempt to modify something, I get:

Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/threading.py", line 436, in __bootstrap
     self.run()
   File "/home/zope/zopex3/lib/python/imdb/browser/loader.py", line 47, 
in run
     self._loader()
   File "/home/zope/zopex3/lib/python/imdb/browser/loader.py", line 192, 
in loadActors_
     parent = self.getSubfolder(ACTORS_FOLDER)
   File "/home/zope/zopex3/lib/python/imdb/browser/loader.py", line 57, 
in getSubfolder
     self.context[name] = subfolder
AttributeError: 'zope.thread.local' object has no attribute 'interaction'

The thread-local storage seems to be where zope.security stores its 
stuff. How do I get my thread to inherit the right security?

Thanks.
