After seeing the demand for this in a thread on ZopeZen, I've decided to release XXXPythonScripts, at: http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/XXXPythonScripts This Product adds a new Script meta-type: "Script (Python, unsafe)". You can only create or edit these objects when your Zope has been started with a special environment variable set. The envar name is whimsical, but this isn't a joke; By using this Product you add a risk to your system equivalent to using Telnet to log in as the Zope user. If somebody sniffs/guesses your login and this is turned on, they can write Scripts to do whatever the Zope process user can do! These are compatible with Zope 2.3.x only. I have no immediate plans to make them work with 2.4.x, but it shouldn't be hard. Cheers, Evan @ digicool & 4-am
