Hi,

I want to open and read a file via Python; but whether I try to do it 
via a Python method or an external Python script stored in the Zope 
extensions folder, the result is the same.

I'm using this code for a file name I pass in as a parameter:

data = open(file, 'r')
return data

...and I get this result:

Error Type: NameError
Error Value: open

The Python method has a proxy role of Manager and so does the DTML 
script which calls it.

The same thing happens when I try read or readline. I know Python 
methods are limited in certain ways; but external scripts?

Please help

Thanks

Geoff Armstrong
