I am new to Zope and OOP, so please bear with my ignorance and stupidity!! I am attempting to retrieve a Date from an interbase DB (using Kinterbas) into Zope (v 2.5.1), but not in the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.ss format that it wants me to. I am having trouble with this, and have installed mxDateTime in an attempt to resolve the problem. I have written a small Python script in Zope to confirm that it works, and it doesn't. I get errors. the script and error are below: ************************************************************* from mx.DateTime import * while 1: return now().hour ************************************************************* Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access DateTime in this context ************************************************************* Can anyone help with either (or both!) problem(s)?
