... I am attempting to add the external python module "nb_fetch" Doing so returns the error message:

where nb_parse is imported by nb_fetch.
Note that Zope does not use Python's normal import mechanism to load the source file for "External Method"s. One impact: you cannot use relative imports: Even if "nb_fetch.py" and "nb_parse.py" lie side by side in the same folder, "nb_fetch.py" cannot simple do an "import nb_parse" to access the other module.
... I have also made a number of attempts at adding directories to the PYTHONPATH, but no success.
If "nb_parse.py" is in a folder listed in PYTHONPATH, the "import nb_parse" should succeed.
... Also, I restart zope every time I make a change.
Change what? If you change the source file of an "External Method" *AND* you run your Zope in "development mode", then changes are recognized automatically. Chances in other Python modules (such as your "nb_parse" above) require a Zope restart. -- Dieter
