I am new to Zope and attempting to use an external method as described in the zope book, unfortunately I keep getting the following error: Traceback (innermost last): File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 222, in publish_module File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 187, in publish File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\Zope\__init__.py, line 221, in zpublisher_exception_hook File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 171, in publish File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\mapply.py, line 160, in mapply (Object: manage_addExternalMethod) File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\ZPublisher\Publish.py, line 112, in call_object (Object: manage_addExternalMethod) File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\Products\ExternalMethod\ExternalMethod.py, line 131, in manage_addExternalMethod File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\Products\ExternalMethod\ExternalMethod.py, line 179, in __init__ (Object: hello) File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\Products\ExternalMethod\ExternalMethod.py, line 202, in manage_edit (Object: hello) File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\Products\ExternalMethod\ExternalMethod.py, line 209, in getFunction (Object: hello) File E:\AWPROS~1\lib\python\App\Extensions.py, line 217, in getObject (Info: ('E:\\awprosite\\Extensions\\Example.py', 'Example')) SyntaxError: (see above) The extension is indeed named "Example.py" and the method is the example from the book: def hello(name='world') return "Hello %s" % name I'm using Zope 2.3 on Windows NT. Any ideas? Thanks, Jason Jones
