[Zope] import statement inside External Methods

[Marc O. Sandlus]

Hi

I have problems importing Python modules in External Methods. Here's the
situation:
My External Method (inside the Extensions-directory) imports a modules
from a different than the Extensions directory, which works fine.
However, accessing methods and variables inside the imported module
doesn't work.
The funny thing is, that some methods/variables can be accessed, others
not.

Is it possible that Zope keeps a copy of the imported module so that
I can just access an old version of my imported module?

(I always "uploaded" ("Save changes"-button on the management screen of
my External Method) my external method when I changed something in my
imported module)

One dirty hack around this is to rename my imported module when a change
of that module occured.

Please help, I lost one day finding out about this odd behaviour. Is it
a bug?

Regards,
Marc
