You can also create an external python script to call private methods.

Tres,

That was one of the approaches that I tried. However, since that methjod is
private, I needed to create a protected method in Membership to invoke it
and when I called that, I got an Attribute Error from somewhere.

Maybe I should just create something based on searchMemberDataContents
without any security at all. I'll try that and see how it goes.

CMFCore.Membershiptool.MembershipTool has a utility method which might
give you a good start:


    security.declarePrivate( 'searchMemberDataContents' )
    def searchMemberDataContents( self, search_param, search_term ):
        """ Search members """
        res = []

        if search_param == 'username':
            search_param = 'id'

        for user_wrapper in self._members.values():
            searched = getattr( user_wrapper, search_param, None )
            if searched is not None and string.find( searched,
                   search_term ) != -1:
                res.append( { 'username' : getattr( user_wrapper, 'id' )
                            , 'email' : getattr( user_wrapper,
                                                 'email', '' )
                            }
                          )

        return res

While this is hardly as general as it could be, it does sketch out the
access method for searching memberdata.
