Dear Dennis Allison, I did in the following way: 1) I kept the html2pdf.py file under Extensions directory (/var/zope/Extensions/) 2) I went to the desired folder in Zope Management and selected the "External Method" to add. 3) I have given ID, Title, Module Name and Function Name as html2pdf I am using Zope-2.6.1b1-1 python-2.2.2-26 OS RedHat 9.0 with kernel-2.4.20-20.9 Thanks & Regards Praveen On Fri, 2003-09-26 at 10:01, Dennis Allison wrote:
Hmmm.... I assume you've put the python script that calls htmldoc using popen2 into the Extensions directory of your Zope. (The details of where the Extensions directory is to be found may vary.)
Calling the script in the Extensions directory is accomplished by adding an External Method Object to the folder in which is to be referenced (or a folder which will be acquired). The External Method is invoked by calling it from DTML, TAL, or a python script.
If that's what you're doing, I am at a bit of a loss why you would get that diagnostic. What version of Zope are you using, what OS, which Python?

Thanks for your reply. I kept that script in the External Method and exported into the folder where I am using that script, but still getting the same error. Is there any other problem?

You need to put the script into an External Method. Zope python scripts do not allow access to many python modules for security reasons.

Dear List, I wanted to convert the HTML file into PDF file using Zope. for this I have downloaded the script developed by Maik Jablonski. I also downloaded the htmldoc from Easy Software Products. But still it is showing the following error.
ERROR: ******************************************************************** import of "popen2" from "os" is unauthorized. You are not allowed to access popen2 in this context *********************************************************************
