I added a script object and directly pinched the code that Jason sent: import DateTime return DateTime.DateTime().millis() and it seems to be working. It is strange that it does though. I see in the help (Control_Panel/Products/PythonScripts/Help/ModuleAccess.stx) that "string, math, and random" are availible for import, but "The only way to make other Python modules available for import is to add security declarations to them in the filesystem". Not sure if they intended this to mean the whole list or just a subset.

I don't think you can do time-based stuff in a Python script in Zope. On p. 153 of the Zope Book, it outlines the fairly tight restrictions on what you can import into Python from inside Zope and the time stuff is not listed. You _can_ do this with an External Method, assuming you have proper access rights to the outside-Zope portion of your server. -- Dan Shafer, Author-Consultant http://www.danshafer.com http://www.shafermedia.com _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
