Hi Everyone, I am fairly new to Zope and I need some assitance on something that I know is fundamental so please don't beat up on me too bad ;-) I am try to open a file with a Python Script in Zope for content manipulation. This is a text file, I basically want to read a number, operate on it and write it back out. However when I try to get my file handle I get; file=open("/home/chris/misernumber", "r+") Zope Error Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: NameError Error Value: global name 'open' is not defined I tried creating the file as a Zope object but I get the same error. Again I know this is fundamental. If ya'll can help me with this, or at least point me to some documentation it would be deeply appreciated. Thanks, Chris
