[Zope-dev] Python Method infinite loop?

Hello,

One of my developers just wrote a Python Method containing:

  while 1:
    print "Foo."

and it happily rendered, tying up that thread indefinitely. Is this
supposed to succeed? I thought Python Methods were "safe"?

I am using Zope from CVS (I updated yesterday.) This is not a problem for
us, really, as my guys don't generally write infinite loops (unless it's
on purpose. :-)) However, I thought I would point it out in case it's a
bug.
