Would it be useful to (or rather, is it possible to) let one of these scripts call up another one ? I tested the Python script object; and it looks really nice for letting end users extend a server installed system over the Web link. In my test, I needed lists of data from a second script as input, and since I did not find a way of calling this second script directly from my main script, I assigned lists in DTML and forwarded them from there. Any better way ? We develop risk management systems, and we some of our customers override the default algorithms. <dtml-let lstPrices=GetMarketPrices lstEvalPeriods=GetEvalPeriods> <dtml-try> <dtml-with AlgorithmsUser> Price (user's algorithm)= <dtml-var "MarketFix(lstEvalPeriods,lstPrices)"> </dtml-with> <dtml-except> <dtml-with AlgorithmsDefault> Price (default algorithm)= <dtml-var "MarketFix(lstEvalPeriods,lstPrices)"> </dtml-with> <dtml-else> </dtml-try> </dtml-let>

A few announcements. First, in the interests of sanity and getting things moving, I'm choosing the only name other than "Python Method" to get a positive score in the naming poll. I like it, Guido likes it, the community sort of likes it, so it's official. Zope 2.3 will introduce "Python Script" objects.
There will be no "Unrestricted" vs. "Restricted". If you want to write unrestricted code, you can use a good old External Method, or write a small module and import it in a Script object.
Finally, if you want to give Python Scripts a try, you can now play with them without any CVS, installation, or Zope version worries. Go to http://ps.4-am.com:9000/ , pick a password, and you'll get your own private area in a trunk CVS checkout of Zope in which to play.
I plan to add example Scripts, but for now there's just the raw Zope management interface. When I add examples, I'll announce it here on the Zope list.
Cheers,
Evan @ digicool & 4-am
