Here's an example of adding stuff to '_' using a monkey
patch Product.

Contents of __init__.py of directory Products/MoreBuiltins:

def _AddBuiltins():
  from urllib import urlopen, quote, unquote
  from base64 import decodestring, encodestring

  def same_type(self, a, b):
    return type(a)==type(b)

  def attr_map(self, o):
    r = o.__dict__.copy()
    for k in r.keys():
      if k[:1] == '_':
        del r[k]
    return r

  class AnObject:
    def __init__(self, **kw):
      self.__dict__.update(kw)

  NewBuiltins = {
    'list': list,
    'tuple': tuple,
    'map': map,
    'filter': filter,
    'reduce': reduce,
    'urllib': AnObject(open=urlopen, quote=quote,
unquote=unquote),
    'base64': AnObject(decode=decodestring,
encode=encodestring),
    'same_type': same_type,
    'attr_map': attr_map,
  }
  from DocumentTemplate.DT_Util import TemplateDict
  TemplateDict.__dict__.update(NewBuiltins)

#call it
_AddBuiltins()
