      You can using the string module in Python Methods the same way you can in
DTML.  There's no need to import anything.

Try _.string.split(...)

Subject: [Zope] importing string module in python METHOD - a problem
that shouldn't be a problem problem
Hi,
I have a Python method that needs to use the string module. In the
method body I have the 'import string' statement but when I try it =>
Error Type: ImportError
            Error Value: __import__ not found
The documentation collaborates that import statements (the string module
specifically) can be used in Python methods. The method body is...
import string
        text = details
        y = string.split(text,"x")
        studentMatric = y[0]
        studentRecord = y[1]
        return studentMatric + studentRecord
.., which results in the above error. Can anyone suggest a reason for
this? I think (hope) it'll work if I put it in my extensions directory.
