I have not used PythonMethods yet but I assume they are like External Methods.
Not really. Since they're intended to be as safe as DTML, they aren't allowed to import.

I want to be able to run structured_text and newline_to_br and html_quoute - all the formatting options available in DTML - using PythonMethods. Something like:
a = structured_text(self.body)
is there any way to do this?
Yes, in version 0.1.7 (just put up) you can access all of the special dtml-var formats through a builtin dictionary called (surprise!) special_formats. This allows you to do the following (tested code): return special_formats['structured-text']('*Hi* _there_') It's verbose, but if you need to apply one multiple times you can do this: hq = special_formats['html-quote'] txt1 = hq(txt1) txt2 = hq(txt2) #etc Cheers, Evan @ 4-am
