[Zope] quick python book - question about the feedback form example

[Jason Cunliffe]

Lee

I'm no expert, but I thought all Python Scripts [Methods] in Zope need to
include 'self' as the first argument.

Thus you should try instead

"""feedback.py: A simple feedback form application"""
def save_feedback(self, feedback_type, comments):
    etc..

among others do check out the ZDP  FAQ at
http://zdp.zope.org/projects/zfaq/faq/ExternalMethods#952541309

and also the new Zope Book Chapter 8
http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/ScriptingZope.html
[See section about External Python halfway down, but beware the new change
in terminology from 'Python Methods' to 'Python Scripts' - slightly out of
sync with the Quick Python Book]

good luck
- Jason
