Hi, I'm fair-to-middlin' with Perl and have no Python knowledge. I'm trying to do a Python script which grabs some information from a telnet interface on the same machine: import sys import telnetlib HOST = "localhost" tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST, 9090) tn.write("title ?\n") tn.write("album ?\n") tn.write("artist ?\n") tn.write("exit\n") print tn.read_all() That works from the command line (well, I'll be figuring out how to regex-prettify the output later), but doesn't work from Zope: I've enabled import of sys and telnetlib, but it now pops up auth dialogs repeatedly. Hitting cancel makes it say " Error Value: You are not allowed to access write in this context". What am I doing wrong? I'm open to making it an external method, but when I tried to do so it quit working from the command line. thanks, -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
