I vaguely recall this being discussed in the past, but I can't find it in my archives...
Has anyone tried to make a comparable thing to an "External Method" but that is contained in the database itself?
The reason is this... we've set up Zope on the Starship, and some people would like to experiment with ExternalMethods, BUT... that requires access on the file system to stuff that we'd rather not open up, or a hueg amount of administrative overhead.
Ideas?
You could write an External Method that would put the file in the extensions directory :) I think they only need to be there while the Python Method is created since you have to update them from within Zope every time they change. This would be a **HUGE** security hole though! You could log them but I don't know if there is anything you could do to make it safe.
