Hi Chris, first: please use only plain text for mailinglist. Most people dont like html text there. Zopes DTML and Python Script Objetcs are in a security sandbox for good reason. (see the documentation for the reasons, they are explained in great detail) However, if you _really_ nead to access a file in the filesystem, you have to use an external method. For security reasons dont use the filename as a parameter for this function or only after excessive testing of the name.

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
