A common approach is to isolate the functionality that uses the module(s) and put them in an Exernal Method or write a Product that incorporates them. These approaches give much more freedom than Python Scripts which are given limited access because of security issues. On Wed, 25 May 2005 karl.eklund@amnesty.se wrote:

Maybe this is the wrong way or something, but how can I use xml.dom.minidom (or other module in its entirety) from within Zope? I've tried various stuff in the "MyScriptModules" Product. This same approach seems to work with the "re" module.

Example:

Products/MyScriptModules/__init__.py:

from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module ... allow_module("xml") allow_module("xml.dom") allow_module("xml.dom.minidom")

Python Script "inside" Zope:

import xml.dom.minidom xmlstring="<a><b>texttextext</b><c>hejhejhej</c></a>" domtree=xml.dom.minidom.parseString(xmlstring) return domtree.toxml()

Result:

Username/Password question.

"Error Type: Unauthorized Error Value: You are not allowed to access 'toxml' in this context"
