[Zope-dev] Passing arguments to external methods

[Emmanuel Rousselle]

I'm currently trying to play with external methods using the How-To written
by "brian". 

cf. http://www.zope.org/Documentation/How-To/ExternalMethods

When I'm trying to pass the REQUEST object to my external method, Zope
complains:

   Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. 

   Error Type: TypeError
   Error Value: not enough arguments; expected 2, got 1

The method definition looks like "def helloWorld(self, REQUEST)". And the
call to the external methods looks like "<dtml-var "helloWorld(REQUEST)">".
So it looks to me like Zope is asking for the "self" variable, which is a
bit strange since this argument is supposed to be implicit.
