[Zope] (Script) Python needs xmlrpclib

[alan runyan]

There are magical things beyond my control happening - security mechanisms.
As this is a security issue and there is no way (that I know) around it --
its that much more frustrating.  99% of sane people, in development - would
like to turn MOST security restrictions off.  Is there a way to tell
Guard.py, "down boy!" ??

dealing with BEA Weblogic (which relies on Java's security model) -- there
are the same issues.  but you can basically tell the Java Security model
allow_what_god_shouldnt_be_able_to_do.

please someone shed light on this.  it seems no one I run across understands
how to do this (use External Method, is the response I get) or anything
about the new security model of ZOPE. -- which *appears* to be
understandable and sane.  NOTE: External Methods (which are what most people
use, I would bet) have 0 security mechanism.  that is why they are so
powerful.  ZOPE preaches TTW.  (Script) Python needs to be able to have as
much power as External Methods, IMO.

trying to get (Script) Python to use xmlrpclib

here is my (Script) Python, getXML:
from Products.ExposedModules.xmlrpclib import Server
s=Server('http://betty.userland.com')
n=s.examples.getStateName(41)
return n

here is my lib/python/Products/ExposedModules/__init__.py:
from Products.PythonScripts.Utility import allow_module, allow_class
from AccessControl import ModuleSecurityInfo, ClassSecurityInfo
from Globals import InitializeClass
import xmlrpclib

ModuleSecurityInfo('Products').declarePublic('ExposedModules')
ModuleSecurityInfo('Products.ExposedModules').declarePublic('xmlrpclib')
ModuleSecurityInfo('Products.ExposedModule.xmlrpclib').declarePublic('Server
')

allow_module('Products.ExposedModules.xmlrpclib')
security.declarePublic('Server')

from xmlrpclib import Server

allow_class(Server)
#security.apply(globals())

here is my bloddy traceback:
Error Type: Fault
Error Value: <Fault 7: 'Can\'t evaluate the expression because the name
"_guarded_reads" hasn\'t been defined.'>
