The exception was a SyntaxError, which usually means a typo
or other syntax problem in the .py file containing your 
external method. You can check this by cd'ing to your Zope
Extensions directory, starting Python from the command line
and trying to import your module - that should also raise a
SyntaxError. It will also give you a better clue as to where
the problem is.

Hope this helps!
