[Zope] Re: Converting Python Methods to Python Scripts

15 Dec 2000

      ...
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone is planning to add automated migration of 
Python Methods to Python Scripts (maybe with Zope 2.3 final)? Or 
maybe there's something like this in there already that I missed?
Anyway, for now I created a simple hack to do this - it's not 
pretty, but it works. In case anyone's interested, this is how to do 
it:
<...snip...>
Oops, bug. It didn't work in ZClasses. And while I was fixing that, I 
modified it so that if you select more than one object all will be 
converted and you'll get back to the object list.

A bug in a hack. How embarrassing. Here's the new External Method.
