I just uploaded version 0.1.7 of the PythonMethod Product.  Here's the CHANGES.txt
since 0.1.6:

* Nested functions and lambdas are now supported, with full safety.
* You can access all of the dtml-var format functions through a builtin dictionary
called special_formats (eg: special_formats['html-quote']).
* Handing off to Digital Creations for inclusion in CVS.
* Packaged with packProduct script, which excludes parent directories and .pyc
files.  Makes for a smaller package, and doesn't step on ownership/permissions of
lib/python/Products path elements.
* Added COPYRIGHT.txt, making Wide Open Source licence (BSD-style) explicit. (Mike
Goldman provided the text, I provided the silly name).
* Jeff Rush donated a PrincipiaSearchSource method, so that  PythonMethod objects
can be zcataloged to the same degree as DTML Methods.
* Also from Jeff Rush, a document_src method, so that the source of PythonMethods
can be viewed via a "View Source" link if desired.
* If a PM has a 'traverse_subpath' parameter, you can now directly traverse it.
The elements of the subpath will then be put into a list in 'traverse_subpath'.
(thanks to Anthony Baxter)
