This is what the Evan Simpson's PythonMethod
http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/PythonMethod
does. It is not the same as External Methods though, because PythonMethods
have the same kind of restrictions that DTML does... unless you feel
comfortable enough flipping a switch in the code. Most people on the list
seem to feel that through-the-web editing of arbitrary python is dangerous.
