Hi I wonder why DateTime().parts() results is different to time.localtime(time.time()) or at least returns less info than the latter. It would seem a change to DateTime would be in order ? Tim On Fri, 2003-02-07 at 06:30, sean.upton@uniontrib.com wrote:

I hope you all don't mind, but I've moved this to Zope-dev. I would like to propose that it be possible without modification (default behavior) in a future version of Zope to import the time module and its methods safely into TTW Python Scripts.

I haven't used this yet in TTW code (I've had to work around it), but it seems like it might be good to un-restrict it, especially for CMF installations that heavily utilize date metadata. time.localtime(time.time()) is, AFAICT, the only way to determine if you are in standard or DST at any point in time during the year. You can't have a page-template appropriately display correct times for content from multiple time-zones without this (I'm sure many CMF installations will need this), and it seems silly to write an external method for this; allowing import of the time module is a good workaround, but I would suggest it be enabled by default in Zope.

My particular use-case is AP newswire stories which are in EST/EDT. The timezone offset changes for this twice a year, and having a fixed calculation based upon some assumption of a fixed timezone offset in my own timezone (PST/PDT) won't work. I need to be able to know my own timezone offset to do the math, and for this I need to use time.localtime(time.time())[8] to get it. I'm sure "community" sites and things like blogs, or anything else that works across the geographic boundaries of differing time zones could use this too.

Thoughts?

Apparently. See /lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/README.txt or the Zope Developer's Guide Security chapter for info on how to enable it...

I'm trying to do Import time Time=time.time()

in a Python Script, but I'm getting login prompts and "Error Value: You are not allowed to access time in this context" messages. Is the time module one that's restricted in Python Script? Chris
