Well this is how I understood the process. Basically the code is read and exec-ed and the the func_code func_code.co_varnames are extracted. Then they apply all the clever tricks to turn the function into a valid Zope method, by (I assume) creating a Zope method and replacing its func_code and the associated func_defaults and arguments with the ones extracted from the external function. The relevant code can be found in Zope/lib/python/App/Extensions.py and Zope/lib/python/Products/ExternalMethod/ExternalMethod.py Pavlos
