i dont know how useful this would be, but theoretically you should be able to put a function into the misc_ dictionary of your product usually you use the misc_ dictionary for images, eg. misc_ = { 'logo' : Globals.ImageFile( ... ) } (this goes into your products __init__.py) which then can be called with an url /misc_/YourProductName/logo so you could do something like def func(): # ... misc_ = { 'func' : func } but i dont know if it would get passed any url parameters etc., and i think you wont have access to acquisition is there some specific reason not to make your function a class method? - peter.

I have created a python based zope product for the cmf which is working ok. I would like to create a function that belongs in the same .py file as the product class but the function will not be a method of a class instance. I want to be able to call this function from anywher within zope to do something related to the product class but not an instance of that class. I assume the function "def function( self ): etc..." is placed outside of the class statement in the .py file but I cannot work out what I need to do to be able to call it in zope, or if it's possible or wise to do. At the moment I have this function written in a zope "python script". Or am I supposed to make it an external method?
Hope that makes sense as I'm still trying to get my head around this class,instance,method,function thing! Any ideas or help on where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
(Running zope 2.5.1 / python 2.1.3 / win2000) Thanks Steve.
