[Zope] regular expressions with re

Hi folks!

I have a strange little proble when I want to use the python module "re" in 
Zope.
Importing it is no problem and works flawlessly.

Compiling the re-expression also works fine.

But I run into troubles as soon, as I try to do something with it.
For example, I'd like to check for the @ character in an email-address.
According to the python howtos it works like this:

import re

p=re.compile("@")

m=p.match("walter@pleyer.com")

This works fine, when I try it with a standard python interpreter.
But if I try in Zope it wants my password as soon as I try the match-operation
and never completes it.

Any Ideas?

Thanx,
Walter
