[Zope] Adding an external method

[Thomas B. Passin]

You should always test an external method to make sure it works before
trying to use it in Zope.  One easy way is to make the file self-testing:

if __name__=='__main__':
    #place test code here
    # Run this file from the command line to perform the test.

If you don't do this, you can't tell if you have a Zope problem or a Python
problem.

Cheers,

Tom P

You were right ... I typed in the few lines of code again (instead of
copy/paste) and it added the external method without errors.

Thinking of it I should have thought of that - copy/paste from browsers
always fails for me :-)
