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
