There is no such thing as "shared modules". Python Scripts only have a number of "safe" modules available to them - read zope/lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/README.txt to see how you can easily make more modules available to Python Scripts. -- Roché Compaan Upfront Systems http://www.upfrontsystems.co.za * Simon Forster <simon-lists@ldml.com> [2004-08-05 22:04]:

I reckon this must be a FAQ but I can't seem to find a sensible answer anywhere. I'm getting a constant error of:

Error Type: ImportError Error Value: import of "Shared.AppleScript.test" is unauthorized

All I'm trying to do is import a trivial module from (zope/lib/python/)Shared/AppleScript/test into a PythonScript in Zope. Longer term I want to use a standard module which Zope will not give me access to (os - so I sort of understand this) but at the mo I've stripped the function down to just returning a string in order to get things to work - except it's not.

Can I not import shared modules into an (internal top Zope) PythonScript?

Please, help and pointers to appropriate documentation would be much appreciated.

For now I give up!

TIA

Imports in through-the-web code are restricted. You can only import modules that have been declared via Zope's security machinery. To make these declarations, here's a little zopelabs recipe. http://www.zopelabs.com/cookbook/1074897091 On Thu, Aug 05, 2004 at 08:08:28PM +0100, Simon Forster wrote:
