Hello,
I'm fiddling arround with some External Python Methods and I have to admit that it is a real pain to debug those Methods - at least I did not found a reasonable way. It makes me really crazy ist the fact that it seems that Zope just caches the first version of the file which I putted into the Extensions directory and later changes are simply ignored.
You need to keep pressing the 'Save Changes' button in the External Method's management screen, once every time you edit the method! I found this so irritating that I wrote a small hack to add a tab to the management interface to activate automatic refreshing; have a look at my How-To, http://www.zope.org/Members/madcow/ExtMethodRefresh. I hope you find this useful. I can't guarantee it's 100% bug-free; if you have any problems please do let me know (not at this address, which ceases to be valid in 3 weeks; contact me at loefflerdavid@hotmail.com). David Loeffler
