[Zope] Using fpformat in python scrips; Was: Currency formatting from within Python Script

[complaw@hal-pc.org]

Forget what I just wrote in the last response, bad idea.  Andreas was right.  It
is just better to do it the hard way.  

I wish there was a place in Zope where the administrator could select what set
of standard python modules that would be supported by scripts.  You know,
something with two boxes:  the set of unselected modules on the left, and the
set of selected modules on the right, with arrow buttons going each way.  Then
you would have a "restart" button to restart Zope and 'voila,' instant
gratification.

Just a thought...

Thanks for your help, everyone.
