import time.strftime, time.strptime

That particular module is not restricted for Python Scripts. Why? Very complicated. If you want to use modules that are forbidden for Python Scripts, let an External Method do the crude job and try to keep as much code as possible in the script. Example: ## External Method /Extensions/careful_strftime.py ## import time.strftime, time.strptime def careful_strftime(self, *args): return strftime(args) ## Zope object careful_strftime ## Id: carefule_strftime Module: careful_strftime Function: careful_strftime ## Python Script ## BDate = context.careful_strftime("%d.%m.%Y", xxx) You must obviously do the same to strptime(). It is a good idea to keep a py file in Extensions filled with little hacks like this. Alternativly, look into the XXXPythonScript product on zope.org On Monday 15 April 2002 15:08, Vitaly Markitantov wrote:

I creates some Script(P7ython) in Zope:

BDate=strftime("%d.%m.%Y",strptime(Person['Birthday'],"%Y-%m-%d")) # ...

all looks ok

But when script is executing, i have error message:

ImportError Sorry, a site error occurred.

Why it's unauthorised? I run it from manager interface - my role in Zope is Manager How can i resolve this problem?

Scripts run a very restricted form of Python with only limited imports. If you need access to all of Python, you must write an External Method not a Script.
