Hi, I'm new to Zope and I've been examining the LoginManager example given by dlpierson (http://www.zope.org/Members/dlpierson/sqlLogin). Although I am nowhere near understanding what it is doing, I'm very close to getting it to work - I think! It looks to me like I'm falling down in the PythonMethods (PythonScripts) in the Member ZClass. Are PythonScript arguments typeless? I keep getting an error Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'password' from the authenticate method which I'm passing self,password. Strangely following this error, I can hit the back button on my browser and reach the protected HTML page anyway! Here is the traceback. Your help would be appreciated. <!-- Traceback (innermost last): File D:\PROGRA~1\WEBSITE\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File
