You can keep all the modules/types/etc you want Zope to stop hassling you about into a single file, restart Zope, and enjoy life again. create a Product called whatever you like (we called ours 'GlobalModules')... our looks like this: in Products/GlobalModules: __init__.py # Global module assertions for Python scripts from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module from AccessControl import allow_module, allow_class, allow_type allow_module('re') import re allow_type(type(re.compile(''))) allow_type(type(re.match('x','x'))) allow_module('zipfile') import zipfile allow_class(zipfile.ZipFile) allow_class(zipfile.ZipInfo) ----END------ For you, obviously, you'll want to allow_module('random'), perhaps declare some of its own special types, etc... hth Jim

Why won't Zope let me call the random module? It's really annoying to have to write an external method to call such a simple tool. Is there a way around this?
