I'm sorry, I assumed py2.2+, not py2.1

We definitely still support py2.1, but of course then some of the
features are not available. For example, there's nothing like properties
in py2.1.

  The code I posted should work given that:

- you replace p.bizname="x" w/ p.setBizname("o") and
              p.bizname     w/ the appropriate getter p.getBizname()

  (this will make the ValidationException at saveChanges() disappear)

- you build the package/modules/classes w/:

    >>> build(model, define_properties=0)

  since py2.1 has no properties.


And that's obviously what you discovered on your own.

To be clear: yes, it is.

You absolutely do not need too, right. I just use it (even though it's
not documented yet) since most people tends to think its the easiest way
(including me :) --but that does not mean that code generation, either
from the ZModeler or from mdl_generate_python_code.py, is deprecated.
