[Zope] Re:[Zope]Python Method question

[Chris McDonough]

Ahhhh... I see.  Thanks.

Well, instead of calling execfile() (or exec()), make the PythonMethods
for google and altavista, etc. part of your Product.  Then replace the
call to execfile with a call to the PythonMethod, eg.

methods = [self.googlepythonmethod, self.altavistapythonmethod]
for method in methods:
   count = count + 1
   # whatever security stuff you're talking about...
   method()

Does this make sense?  I *think* this will work.

I am a Zope Newbie. I dont understand ZOpe too much. I know python but I
am not an expert. Well, I want to make a Zope Product. There is a python
program Pagecast (pagecast.sourceforge.net, I am not the creator) that I
want to transform in a Product. This program submit a list of URL to
various search engines. For each search engine there is a file that is
executable code. My desire is that this files can be modified by any
manager, not only the system administrator. For security reason I think
that this should be a Python Method. 
In the original code I have: 
 for file in Servers: 
            count = count + 1 
            # TODO insert security here 
            execfile(file, globals(), locals()) 
where servers is a list Servers=["google.def","altavista.def",...] 
As I said, this .def files are executable code. 
My question is: 
How can I execute this file if this file is a PythonMethod? Is that
posible?
