Re: [Zope] Newbie: need a simple example of external method

I have noticed that the external methods are only single-level deep. That is, they have one-word names, e.g: myMethod. This might be a problem in large-scale projects, where it is easy to run into name conflicts.

Does anyone know whether internally zope uses the "import myModule" and then internally assembles the "myModule.myMethod()" call, or does it use "from myModule import myFunction"?

Neither. It actually executes the file contents in a clean namespace, so the file is *not* in any way treated as a module or package. If you want external code to live in a proper module or package, it needs to be a Product. That's also the proper place to put large, complex code which is at risk of name conflicts.
