The code i've writed imports date object from datetime package: this makes it doesn't work like a script (python), so i adapt code as an external method;
Maybe you could use Zope's own DateTime, which can be used in Scripts?
Well, 2 are the questions: First, what i've to do to get service variable like like container, context, request, etc.. ? Which are differences between script and external method coding? i remember that the zope book indicates only imports.
It's maybe not obvious, but implicit in the book is that the bindings described for Scripts (container, context, etc.) apply only to Scripts, and not for External Methods. With External Methods, if the first argument to the function is named "self", you can treat "self" as being equivalent to a python script's "context". The request can be acquired as self.REQUEST. The container of the external method... don't know. I never yet had a case for an external method where I cared about the difference between context and container. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
