This worked perfectly :) Thanks.

Where exactly did you find out this kind of thing? Just the source?

I believe it is a security thing, but I really don't know what behavior it
protects us from... Personally, I'd love to be able to do lists and
dictionaries in PythonMethods...

I hope that python methods eventually expose all of the dtml functionality along with the ease of python... with no restrictions on data types , just on imports...
