Or, if you are reckless, you can edit the file
lib/python/Products/PythonMethod/Guarded.py and set 'do_XXX' to
1. After you restart Zope you'll have a new object called 'XXX Python
Method' that can use the 'open' and 'import' functions, among other
benefits. This method seems a bit dangerous but I needed it.

The problem is that the PythonMethod product gives you all or nothing
depending on this variable, there is no intermediate security level.
