Um, maybe?  :)

Gosh, it's been so many years.  Taking a quick glance at:

http://cvs.eby-sarna.com/ZProducts/ZPatterns/DynPersist.c?rev=1.7&view=markup

it seems to me that the __set_attr__ and __del_attr__ hooks could be 
implemented in pure Python since Python 2.2, assuming that Zope was no 
longer using ExtensionClass for persistence.  Not so sure about the 
__get_attr__ hook, or how any of this should work with today's Zope or 
ZODB; I haven't used them in absolutely ages, except running one Plone site 
for my business (doing no custom coding at all).
