Getting Extension properties with Python cmislib?

[Nick Burch <ni...@apache.org>]

Hi All

I'm currently trying to produce a simple Django app that'll fetch / 
display / store data in an Alfresco repo. Given my history, I decided I 
ought to be using CMIS, rather than Jeff's django-alfresco google code 
module[1], so I'm using cmislib

However, I've hit a snag. The Alfresco data type I'm working with 
(datalist) has an auto-generated name, with the useful human readable name 
in the title, but that gets sent under an Extension by Alfresco. As such, 
cmislib's object.properties doesn't show it.

What's the trick for asking cmislib for the extension properties for an 
object?

Thanks
Nick

Ah ha, that should get me going, thanks!

I'd searched for extensions in the docs, but hadn't found anything, hence 
the post. Do you think it's worth adding a section to the site or docs 
which details that extensions aren't directly supported, then lists the 
extension modules + their licenses?

Thanks
Nick

Nick,

Sorry for the initial terse reply. If you are looking for the title of a
datalist, that's in cm:title, which is in the titled aspect. Props from
aspects are available through cmislib when you also use cmislibalf, which
is available on google code [1] or through pypi.

Sorry, Nick, the extensions aren't implemented.
