I don't know if this was ever discussed on this list but I would like to have a management interface for the Extensions and the import folder in a future version of Zope (maybe 2.6?). Are there any reasons why this has not been implemented yet? It would make Zope completely manageable through the web interface.
Python Extensions can execute without *any* security checks (unlike Zope's PythonScripts). Being able to edit them through-the-web would be more risky, as a mistake in your Zope permissions would let someone execute arbitrary code not just in Zope-land, but on your actual computer. I'd think about this before implementing anything. -- Joel BURTON | joel@joelburton.com | joelburton.com | aim: wjoelburton Independent Knowledge Management Consultant
