It's just an enviornment variable, so I assume:
import os os.getenv('INSTANCE_HOME')
should work for an external method.
I'm using Zope 2.6.0b2 on Windows--running as a service. Here's the external method contents (below). When I test it, I get HomeNotFoundError. Which suggests that Zope does not set these environment variables for me--I must set them myself. Am I missing something? Thanks, // mark # external method import os class UtilsException(Exception):pass class HomeNotFoundError(UtilsException):pass def import_file(self): location = os.getenv('INSTANCE_HOME') if not location: location = os.getenv('SOFTWARE_HOME') if not location: raise HomeNotFoundError imp_dir = os.path.join(location, 'import') return '\n'.join(os.listdir(imp_dir)) -
