[z3-five] getParentNode() returns View class!

[Stefan H. Holek]

I am quite sure this is a bug, but it has been there forever (since I  
know Zope) and nobody ever cared enough.

getParentNode gives you self.aq_parent which is not (necessarily) the  
container, but the URL parent. If you want an object's container you  
have to use self.aq_inner.aq_parent.
