Thus, you can create the External Method, manage it, call its "Test"
tab but you cannot use it from DTML. When you try, you
get a "Error type: NameError; Error value: your_External_Method", right?

   Are you sure, the DTML object is called correctly (its two positional
   arguments passed correctly)?

   Did you check the External Method's "Permission" tab?
   Sometimes, magic resets some permissions and Zope sometimes
   maps "Unauthorized" to "AttributeError".
