[Zope-dev] assigning proxy roles from python product, take 2

I reported this a looooong time ago (in the Collector, don't have a number)
as a bug for normal proxy roles (not product related), but never got an
answer. So probably this is hard solve (or no one saw it). This won't help,
I know, but thought I'd just let you know.
