With the following Python Script:

    import string
    foo = string.split('this is a test', ' ')

--------

The traceback follows.  Further probing shows that 'fromlist' in
__careful_import__() is a _ReadGuard object when this error occurs (instead
of None, as I believe is expected).  That's about as far as I can go with
it, though.

Traceback (innermost last):
  File /usr/local/zope-2.3.0/lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py, line 222, in
publish_module

  File /usr/local/zope-2.3.0/lib/python/Products/PythonScripts/Guarded.py,

TypeError: (see above)

---------

I also determined that the following Python Script works fine:

    import string
    foo = [] + string.split('this is a test', ' ')
