i've been thinking about this for a while now, and i was wondering if anyone had considered building a product to support python methods that would be stored in the object database. something like a document, but with real python source. the product could execute the code in a bastion (for security purposes). this would be a somewhat simpler way to handle external methods than using the external methods product, since the method itself would be stored in the object database and be editable through-the-web. i've wanted this so i could write one- or two-line snippets that could be used in "real" documents. -----Original Message----- From: Ty Sarna Sent: 1/16/99 9:36 AM On a more practical note, producing a picklist of years given a start and end date seems like a fairly common thing to want do. Why should I have have to give a content author on my zope site access to the filesystem, just to write a one-line function wrapper around a builtin python function?
