Andreas: As you have experience in this area, perhaps you could give me one last enlightening jolt. Assume for instance that you created a Product in ../lib/python/Products/MyModule and added fpformat.py to it. What security settings would you change via the product management screen in order to avoid the authorization challenge from appearing? Thanks in advance, Ron
Forget what I just wrote in the last response, bad idea. Andreas was right. It is just better to do it the hard way.
I wish there was a place in Zope where the administrator could select what set of standard python modules that would be supported by scripts. You know, something with two boxes: the set of unselected modules on the left, and the set of selected modules on the right, with arrow buttons going each way. Then you would have a "restart" button to restart Zope and 'voila,' instant gratification.
Just a thought...
Thanks for your help, everyone.

Thanks Steve, that was indeed very simple.
However, I have stumbled across an seemingly strange (at first blush) issue. There is a module called fpformat that will allow for floating point formatting.
fpfloat.py is /lib/python2.1/fpfloat.py
It is available to Products, but not to python scripts. My question is, if I do what Andreas says and have a product called FP, with a python file called fpfloat.py and an appropriate __init__.py script, will that interfere with anything?
Instead, what if I modified PythonScript.py and simply added "import fpfloat" (and restarted Zope)?
Ron
Is there an easier way to simply have a float display (round) to two decimal places, rather than monkeying around with the access restrictions? I can add the '$' to the string.
print "$%9.2f" return printed
