      Interactive testing is one of Python's great features. It lets you
      experiment with your code in a simple but powerful way.

        % Anonymous User - Jan. 7, 2002 3:20 pm - Yes, this is a Zope thing. It resides in {ZOPEHOME}/lib/python. Let's assume your ZOPEHOME is /home/Zope. Then you might want to start your interactive session like this:<br><br>  import sys<br>  sys.path.append('/home/Zope/lib/python')<br><br>  et voila! :-)

         Don't you need some kind of __init__.py in there somewhere, too?
