That was it! Problem solved. Incidentally, are you allowed to make classes in python scripts and return those classes from method? For example, in an error condition, I want to create an instance of a class that is defined within the python script. However, I get an error message when the script encounters that error condition. I suspect that this is a security issue (because the "anonymous" user would be creating an object, although one that is not persistent in the ZODB). Is there a way around the problem, or will I just have to return a list on the fly as done in my earlier code?

It should be whatever your script thinks it is, which in this case seems to be "namespace".

I looked at bindings on the 2-3-1 site. The namespace binding value was blank (although '_' was recommended). Could that be the problem? Should it be '_' under 2-4-x?
