There's your key.

You need to add a Python docstring. For example:

  def methodFoo():
  """ This is mthodFoo's docstring"""
    # rest of methodFoo
    pass

This is part of Zope's permissions system -- python methods can't be
called on objects unless they have a docstring, and don't begin with an
underscore.

This is documented somewhere (promise!), but I can't remember where :-/
