Hi Simon, There are instructions in the 2.4.0 release of Python Scripts that explain how to make any module 'safe' to import/execute. I'm pretty sure they are not very 2.4.0 specific (except possibly for the allow_module function, given below) '''Examples for enabling Script import This file contains example code that can be used to make various standard Python modules available to Scripts. In order to use the example code, create a directory called "MyScriptModules", or something equally descriptive, in your Zope's "Products" directory. Copy this file to a file called "__init__.py" in the new directory. Edit the new file, uncommenting the block of code for each module that you want to make available for import by Scripts. You can, of course, add your own code to your "__init__.py" for modules that are not listed below. The list is not comprehensive, but is provided as a decent cross-section of modules. ''' from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module, allow_class from AccessControl import ModuleSecurityInfo, ClassSecurityInfo from Globals import InitializeClass # These modules are pretty safe # allow_module('base64') # allow_module('binascii') # allow_module('bisect') # allow_module('colorsys') # allow_module('crypt') # Only parts of these modules should be exposed ..... and on and on.. Utility.py: from AccessControl import ModuleSecurityInfo, ClassSecurityInfo from Globals import InitializeClass import string def allow_module(module_name): """Allow a module and all its contents to be used from a restricted Script. The argument module_name may be a simple or dotted module or package name. Note that if a package path is given, all modules in the path will be available.""" ModuleSecurityInfo(module_name).setDefaultAccess(1) dot = string.find(module_name, '.') while dot > 0: ModuleSecurityInfo(module_name[:dot]).setDefaultAccess(1) dot = string.find(module_name, '.', dot + 1) -steve Simon Michael wrote:

Python scripts are super-cool.. except I can never do what I want. Safety, shmafety.

Am I right in thinking the following can't work ?

## Script (Python) "zwiki_tests" ##bind container=container ##bind context=context ##bind namespace= ##bind script=script ##bind subpath=traverse_subpath ##parameters= ##title= ## # run ZWiki test suite via simple through-the-web test runner

from Products import ZWiki return ZWiki.tests.run()
