I still can't get external Python Scripts to work as described in the Zope Book. I am using the version of Python Scripts from the public CVS. Internal Scripts work fine, but I can't seem to use the "context" object in an external script. def tryContext(): """tryContext function""" return context.objectIds() gives a NameError on context. ---------- def tryContext(context): """tryContext function""" return context.objectIds() with the "Try It" tab, no form for passing parameters comes up and the complaint is that the context parameter was omitted from the request. ----------- <dtml-var tryContext> to the first example above gives the same NameError on context and to the second example gives "a not enough arguments" TypeError ----------- It only seems to work when explicitly passing an argument like <dtml-var "tryContext(this())"> but I thought that context was supposed to be bound to an object by default as it is with an Internal Script. Cheers, Chris

D'oh! Thanks, Michel. That was the problem. Right now bindings all default to blank in a new external script. Cheers, Chris On Tue, 28 Nov 2000, Michel Pelletier wrote:

def tryContext(): """tryContext function""" return context.objectIds()

gives a NameError on context.

Look at your 'Bindings' tab. The 'context' binding should be 'context'. If it's something else (like 'self') then change it.

Basicly, 'container' should be 'self' and 'context' should be 'context'.
