are you sure Zope does use the same python as your standalone module. Normaly zope uses its onwn python which is in YOURZOPE/bin/python (I think) Robert Am Freitag, 25. April 2003 16:13 schrieb stuffduff:
Hi,
I have a python external method which reads from an external database, unpickles a class object, and concatenates some of the object's properties into a string which is returned by the external method. The class definition is included in the module.
When I run it from the linux prompt in the Extensions directory it behaves exactly as it should. The class is successfully unpickled, the properties are read and the string is returned.
However, when I set it up as an external method and call it I get the infamous:
Error Type: SystemError Error Value: Failed to import class MyObject from module __main__
From my perspective Zope should be 'blissfully unaware' of the existence of the class or the instantiation of the object. Since the object is only accessed in the external method, the module contains the class definition, and only a string is returned, why is this happening?
What am I missing here?
Platform: Red Hat 7.3, Python 2.1.3, Zope 2.51
Curious,
Sean
