[Zope] DTML, Zope and Regex

[Jorge O. Martinez]

Hi:

Thanks for clarifying. I know it's not gone, and I've seen several threads 
debating that. Just wonder if someone could expand how enabling regexes can be 
unsafe for python scripts on Zope as Ben was suggesting. I feel regexes ARE an 
incredibly useful tool, and wish they were available for DTML and python 
scripts by default.

I feel doing it via an external method complicates things unnecessarily IMHO (I 
am a Zope newbie, so don't know the reasoning behind this, but if PHP, for 
example, allows its use and makes developers life easier, I don't see why Zope 
restricts it).

Thanks,

Jorge M.
